Note di degustazione
The 2004 Glaetzer Shiraz shows a beautiful nose of dark fruits and black pepper. Clean and with ripe fruit, this has an awesome mouth feel and a long finish.

(from vines reportedly between 85 and 115 years of age) Inky ruby. Spicy blackberry, cherry and dark chocolate on the nose, with complicating notes of espresso and dried violet. Cool and restrained, with a suave, silky tone to the dark fruit flavors and gentle acids bringing freshness and energy. Nothing overdone here. There's impressive clarity and length to the blackberry and blackcurrant flavors. Really gorgeous.
Made from mainly Ebenezer fruit from 80 to 115 year-old vines. Aged in a mixture of new French barrique and American hogsheads. Very deep crimson. Very complete nose that seems to express Barossa Shiraz in a particularly fine form. Very sophisticated wine – great breadth and extremely fine tannins and lovely structure. Tense fruit that is fully ripe but very dry – though not at all drying – on the finish. Miraculously ‘cool’ on the finish. Quite beautifully made. (The previous vintage was the 2002 as 2003 was reckoned not up to scratch – so the Bishop 2003 is particularly good.) (JR)
