Red 14% ABV ABV Glaetzer

One of the best reds I've had this year
Saw this on a restaurant menu and liked it so much I tracked down a bottle for home. The spice and dark plum thing really works, and it's got this long finish that just hangs around. I'm not usually one to spend £30 on a bottle but this one I'd happily rebuy.

Bit pricey for what it is
It's a nice enough shiraz but at nearly £30 I expected something a bit more special. The dark fruit flavours are good and it's well made, but I've had Barossa shirazes at £20 that gave me just as much enjoyment. Would maybe pick it up on offer.

Birthday treat that delivered
Got this as a birthday present to myself and no regrets. Loved the plum and blackberry on the nose, and there's a spicy warmth that just keeps going. Really smooth for a 14% wine — didn't feel heavy at all.

Punchy but not too much
I usually find big Aussie shirazes a bit jammy but this one stays on the right side of it. There's proper fruit concentration but also some savoury spice that keeps it interesting. The tannins give it a nice backbone too. Shared it with my partner over pasta and we both really liked it.

Goes great with a steak night
Had this with ribeye steaks on a Saturday and it was a cracking pairing. Nice grip to it that cuts through the fat, and the dark fruit flavours are bang on for red meat. Would buy again for a proper steak night.

Really impressed with this one
Bought this for a dinner party and it was a massive hit. Big dark fruit flavours, proper spicy warmth, and it went down brilliantly with a slow-cooked lamb shoulder. At thirty quid it's not an everyday bottle but it's worth it for an occasion.

Decent shiraz, does the job
Picked this up from Majestic to have something nice in for the weekend. It's a well-made red — blackberry, a bit of spice, good balance. Nothing that blew my mind but it's reliably enjoyable and I finished the bottle pretty happily.

Solid Barossa shiraz
The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I liked Australian reds. It's got that classic Barossa thing going on — loads of blackberry and plum, nice and rich but not over the top. Tannins are firm but smooth enough that you don't need to cellar it. Good stuff.
