Glaetzer Shiraz Barossa Valley Bishop 2004 - 94 points
Smooth and round, with a fine zing of acidity to balance the rich, classic cherry, blackberry and licorice flavors, hinting at Provençal herbs and black pepper as the finish sails on and on. Beautifully balanced and harmonious, this is built to grow with age. Best from 2010 through 2020.
