Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - This wine from Ben Glaetzer is really always amazing. Nicely balanced for a barossa Shiraz with some really attractive fruit hanging on a supple structure.

(We had the weaker '05 a year ago and we found it to be still in junior high and postponed the next btl to 2020.)

For the fruity hit, there are just sooo many choices available. But for that geriatric, matured, cheezy, gym-locker, scarred and tantalizing aromas . . . age is key, and there's no shortcut.
However, have noticed that our taste-buds have friends only few and far between. . .
Most importantly, I eat tomatoes and you eat "tomeitoes", but we're both very happy with what we devour :-)
