I go on all the time about how I love balance and elegance; I sing the praises of low alcohol, lightweight reds. And then I come across a couple of big, 15% alcohol Barossa reds that I find really delicious. I think it is because Ben Glaetzer can do big but still get definition and balance in his reds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben Glaetzer Anaperenna 2010 Barossa Valley<\/strong><br \/>\n15.1% alcohol. Shiraz\/Cabernet Sauvignon. Beautifully packaged. Powerful, rich, intense and spicy with well defined sweet blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Massive concentration: this is richly textured and intense, combining power but also nice freshness, with good acidity and firm tannins. Fantastic aromatics and lovely purity of fruit &#8211; this is how to do the blockbuster style. 94\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben Glaetzer Bishop Barossa Valley Shiraz 2010<br \/>\n<\/strong>15.1% alcohol. The backbone of this wine is dry grown Shiraz vineyards in the Ebenezer district of the Barossa, and it&#8217;s aged in French and American oak. Very deep coloured, with a sweet nose of spicy blackberry fruit with some cherry freshness and sweet vanilla oak. Rich, spicy and bold on the palate with well defined fruit. It&#8217;s rich yet well balanced with nice spicy oak well integrated with the deep fruit. Great example of its style, retaining balance. 92\/100<\/p>\n<p>UK agent: Enotria wine<\/p>\n<p>Find these wines with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a hypocrite.
