Glaetzer Bishop Shiraz 2004

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe Bishop is made from young vines at least in the Barossa vernacular because young means 30 to 60 years old. I can only imagine the envy of re-planted post-phylloxera Napa with that statement. Again, like most Glaetzer wines, there is plenty of jump in the glass. Soft ripe plum /raisin flavours fruit just melts in your mouth. Love the balance in a wine in which the acid and the alcohol are both in check. Good value here and it will be fun to age this a decade or more.Tasted: 17 November 2005Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
