Anaperenna Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Glaetzer Wines, Barrosa Valley

97 point - Robert Parker: "For the 2018 Anaperenna Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon, Glaetzer blended in 18% Cabernet Sauvignon to give the wine increased fragrance and length. The nose is smoky, slightly herbal and marked by sweet cedar- and vanilla-tinged oak, but it also offers great cassis and blackberry fruit. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the flavors are kept nicely in check by fine-grained tannins. This wine has it all: terrific intensity, complexity, length and texture."

96 point + Guldmedalje - James Halliday: "82% shiraz (30 - 100 yo vines), 18% cabernet sauvignon (30 - 130 yo vines) yielding 2.5t/ha, open-fermented, hand-plunged, matured for 16 months in new hogsheads (92% French, 8% American). Full-bodied, plum blackberry, supple tannin, good oak. Easy to argue this is too cheap."

94 point - James Suckling: "The 2018 vintage has delivered such strong quality in these full-bodied reds from the Barossa. This has all the ripeness with vitality, depth and freshness. Aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants, as well as leaves and violets, lead to a very deep, dense and juicy palate that carries such luscious, black and blue-fruit flavors."

Anaperenna er lavet på 82% Shiraz og 18% Cabernet Sauvignon fra det eksklusive Ebenezer-distrikt i Barossa Valley. Vinen er lagret 16 måneder på 100% ny eg. Duften byder på ekstremt intens, fuldmoden brombær- og solbærfrugt med lækre nuancer af kaffe, mørk chokolade og vanilje. Smagen er monumentalt rig og intens, og eftersmagen er muligvis den længste, vi nogensinde har oplevet i en vin. Det mest forbløffende er dog, at der under det hele ligger en formidabel friskhed, som gør vinens helhedsindtryk elegant og harmonisk.
