Glaetzer Bishop 2006 - The Wine Advocate

Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate, Issue # 173, 31st October 2007
 Oct 2007

Rating: 92-94 points

The 2006 Bishop was sourced from 60-year-old vines and aged for 14 months in used French and American oak. Purple/black in color, it has an expressive nose of cedar, smoke, game, bacon, and blueberry. On the palate this medium to full-bodied wine is tightly wound but has all the right stuff. There are tons of ripe fruit and silky tannin, excellent balance and a long finish, but the wine will need 8-10 years to fully display its personality. It will easily last through 2036.
