Glaetzer Bishop Shiraz 2001

Thu, Aug 25, 2005

Australia

Another super Australian wine is from Ben Glaetzer. He is one of my favorite Australian winemakers. Among others he works for Heartland, himself (Glaetzer Wine) and Mitolo. Specially the Mitolo’s are gorgeous - I’ll come back to them in a later blog.

The wine is very deep red in color. It is very intense in the nose with blackcherry, mocca, sweet liquorice and vanilla. It’s full-bodied with handsome, ripe fruit, velvety but present tannins and a delicious, rich taste. Eventhough the wine has power, it has a certain amount of complexity and it has a long ending with a sweet touch.

Score: 91/100 pts.

Price:  $18 / €15
