Dark ruby colour with slight bricking at the rim. Coffee, mocha, plum, blackberry, raisin, anise. Only a hint of classic Aussie eucalyptus. Heavy sediment. Acidity is waning at this point. Can’t complain about the price but the 2010 is declining. Drink now.

Remarkably elegant syrah, displaying red and black fruits on a minty dpice background. The excellent minerality and medium tannins elevate the wine to a high class.

The color is inky purple and very dark and dense and opaque. The smells are currants, vanilla, sweet cherry, menthol, jam, and smoky tar. The tastes are sweet cherries, blackberry jam, fig, vanilla, mocha, black olive, cedar, pepper, and sweet spice. This is full bodied and fruit forward with furry tannins and a long finish. This is a full throttle fruit bomb and is tasty.

The nose gave the impression of a big, bold, 'in your face' sort of shiraz. However the body was lighter than expected though the tannins were very noticeable. Plenty of red fruits, mint and pepper on the palate with a very long length.

Very inky color and purple violet color to the rim. This wine is completely, lights out opaque. Smells are blackberry, olive, vanilla, pepper, and dark chocolate. The tastes are blackberry, black licorice, pepper, dark chocolate, and olive notes. The tannins are furry velvet and there is weighty mouth-feel here with a nice, cedary, finish.

A powerful, creamy shiraz with very ripe dark fruits. Complex, with chewy layers of tannins. There was an underlying sweetness to this wine that masked the tannins in this wine, like dates. Still young and slightly tannic, but I am confident this wine can go the distance for many more years. Very drinkable now actually.

A surprisingly beautiful wine, very soft and well balanced with lots of fruit flavours and a long finish. Would certainly buy again. Hard to fault some of Glaetzer's wines.

Deep red color and lingering good nose - immediate and after some time. Good fruit taste. Enjoyable drink now, but will probably age better.

Very nice. Should improve with a few years more in the cellar.
