Glaetzer Wines, The Barrosa, Australia
"Made by the highly regarded Ben Glaetzer and matured in French oak hogsheads (larger oak barrels than usual). It's been a highly successful brand since its launch a handful of
years ago ‐ and deservedly so. The 2008 release has a robust honesty about it. No tricks, just dark, rich, warm fruit.
Tastes of peppermint, sweet fruit (plums, cherries and raspberries), pipe tobacco, a touch of pepper and a whiff of vanilla. Excellent winter drinking. Will impress all comers. Drink 2010‐2013." 91/100 Campbell Mattinson, The Big Red Wine Book.
Vivid ruby. Dark berries, cherry, woodsmoke and a whiff of black pepper on the nose.Fairly rich and ripe, but with firm acidity giving juiciness and spine to the dark fruit flavors. Not a fleshy wine but quite energetic, finishing with firm, dusty tannins and good cling." 89/100 Tanzer
