A more restrained Aussie example, which is is much more aligned to our palates. The 20% cab has a calming effect on the Shiraz. Very well done, and we’ll certainly buy more of this vintage.

Perfect time to drinking this Magnum 2007 Anaperenna..
Still lots of fruit and dark berries. The balance is fantastic..

Decanted for 60 min, and prob needs longer than that as the first glass was a bit unbalanced but that second glass wow.
Amazing aromas. Big blueberry, blackberry, and ecluyptus.
82% shiraz and 18% cabernet sauvignon

When to drink: 2011 to 2022

The 2007 Anaperrena Shiraz (75%)-Cabernet Sauvignon (25%) was sourced from 30- to 120-year-old vines with yields ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 tons of fruit per acre. It spent 15 months in new oak, predominantly French. Purple/black in color, it offers up a splendid nose of pain grille, mineral, scorched earth, blueberry, and black currant. Dense and massive on the palate, it has layers of ripe fruit, excellent balance, and a long, fruit-filled finish. Allow it 3-4 years to round out and drink it from 2011 to 2022. Wine Advocate 95

First hints of brown in the colour.
Mature and at ease. Black cherries and dates, brown spices, sweet sandalwood, toffee and chocolate. Tannines resolved. Drink now and enjoy! 😀👍🏻

Coffee and blackberries, with a hint of cedar. A tad too tannic for me.

First time trying with a Ribeye, not bad. My First bottle a few months ago was tight but now the fruit is coming out.

Slightly stewed but still in control - in my experience this is very on brand for Glaetzer. 82% Shiraz 18% Cab.
