1999 Glaetzer Barossa Shiraz

Colin Glaetzer is responsible for some of Australia’s top reds, having worked with Barossa Valley Estate producing the formidable E&E Blackpepper Shiraz. The fruit for this wine was produced from 70-80 year old non-irrigated vines.
Very deep crimson mauve colour. Superb nose, with complex aromas of earth, liquorice, spice, plum pudding, followed by cedar and vanilla. The palate is refined and delivers flavours of liquorice, spice and confectionary. Velvet smooth tannins followed by very long aftertaste of liquorice all sorts, vanilla, plum pudding and spice. Perfect drinking now. Cellar 3-4 years.

RATING: 94/100
