2018 Glaetzer Bishop Shiraz 750ml

Dark berries, coffee and aniseed aromatics. The palate is beautifully polished with dark fruits melding into some cola and sweet spice notes. Hints of iodine and sea-spray give additional complexity, with a bright high line of acidity to carry through the middle. A deeper line of tannins kicks in and carries it long into the finish with a gentle hand 28 JUL 2020 Drink 2020ââ‚?031

This has deep, rich aromas and flavors of blackberries and ripe dark plums. It delivers in a pure and supple mode and carries plenty of weight into the soft, fleshy and drinkable finish. Drink over the next five years. Screw cap.

All Shiraz, all from the Ebenezer section of the northern Barossa, the 2018 Bishop Shiraz is a super value in the context of Barossa, and Australian Shiraz in general. Matured in only 5% new oak hogsheads, it delivers bountiful cherry and raspberry fruit, accented by hints of mocha and cola. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and juicy, fruity and lush, but reined in by firm, savory tannins on the long, mouthwatering finish. It should drink well for up to a decade.
