Even better than the 2015, Glaetzer's 2016 Bishop Shiraz is very similar in style, with many of the same notes of charred meat, espresso, black olives and blackberries, but with a greater sense of freshness and vitality, even a touch of red raspberry fruit. It's full-bodied and supple, turning velvety on the long finish. I'm being conservative in estimating its drinking window, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were still going strong in 2030.

Deftly balanced, with wild blackberry and blueberry notes that are concentrated and dense, offset by sophisticated details of chai tea, gingerbread and cinnamon. A juicy thread keeps the flavors bright and precise. Drink now through 2028. 250 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Barossa / Barossa Valley Select to Add
