95 / 100"Deepish red colour with a slight tint of purple. Foresty, herbal and humus-like aromas, plus some toasty oak and hints of chocolate and vanilla. The palate is rich and deep, satisfying and fleshy, with good extract and balanced grip. A serious pinot of profound flavour, great texture, density and length. Very impressive."

Tasting Notes
A sixth generation vigneron hailing from the Barossa Valley where his family runs the eponymous Glaetzer Wines, Nick moved to Tasmania in 2005 and is a winner of the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy and Gourmet Traveller’s Young Winemaker of the Year award.
Dark, lifted aromas of plums, old-school maraschino cherries and mixed spices, all intensifying on the supple and fleshy palate, firmed by velvet tannins and a fine, balanced finish.
