Glaetzer Amon-Ra Shiraz 2012
Despite its 15 alcohol responsible for its spirity warmth this is a fine deeply ripened shiraz of surprising elegance and balance Its dense tightly packed aromas of cassis blackberries briar and assertive chocolatemocha oak are backed by notes of mint cloves and cinnamon plus a hint of treacle Smooth luscious and sweetly fruited its deep dark core of small berry flavour and meaty complexity is supported by fine tannins finishing with excellent length and savoury qualities but also a slight hotness

Glaetzer
One of Australia's busiest and most demanded contract winemakers, Ben Glaetzer is the winemaking inspiration behind this series of Barossa reds. His style is rich, ripe and generous, as he seeks a sumptuous presence of fruit and polished oak supported by a silky cut of fine tannin. The wines from the warm 2013 show the richness, opulence and smoothness of the Glaetzer house style. I think the cabernet component of the Anaperenna helps it soak its 15.5% alcohol rather better than the 100% shiraz Amon-Ra. The Bishop is precisely what you'd expect from this label in a ripe season.
