Lot #726. Glaetzer Shiraz Bishop 2002

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 93 RP.
"The stunning 2002 Bishop (100% Shiraz from 40- to 80-year-old vines) was aged 16 months in primarily old American hogsheads (300-500 liter barrels). This is a superb example of Barossa Shiraz, combining power and concentration with a sense of balance and symmetry. Dense purple-colored with a gorgeous nose of sweet cassis intertwined with new saddle leather, spice box, and licorice, this full-bodied, unctuously-textured effort boasts tremendous intensity, good tannic structure, decent acidity, and a long, heady finish. The 14% alcohol content is relatively restrained by Barossa standards." Wine Advocate #155 Oct 2004
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $180
