2006 Anaperenna by Ben Glaetzer

New name for the 75% Shiraz from Glaetzer. The vintages 2004 and 2005 was Godolphin but now it is named Anaperenna after the Roman Goddess of the New Year. This year's Cab is higher than normal at 25% and the wine is from the Barossa Valley, Australia.

Still tight, with dark, blackberry smell and vanilla. Powerful wine with great with cabernet sauvignon blending fantastically with the shiraz. Herbs, black fruit, cedar, high acidity when drunk. The finish is unbelievably long. They say it is 60 secs long?!

Had left over blue cheese with it. It really brings the feeling of the "new year" to everyday!
