What classifaction can Glaetzers wine be in?

Post by Red Red Wine »

Sorry in advance if my question seems a bit dumb.

In Oz we have Grange and HOG as the top shiraz, but is see the Glaetzer's Amon RA getting really good marks from a lot of people .

So my question is would you or can you compare the AmonRA to the Grange and HOG?

Not really in that Grange and HOG has the history of being able to cellar. AmonRa is a good drink but yet to tell if it will improve with age.

Bartenders are supposed to have people skills. Or was it people are supposed to have bartending skills?

Perhaps more in the league of E&E Blk PepperShz, Penfolds St Henri, Dead Arm etc...etc... more in the third growth rather than the First growth in Oz. Hog,Mt Mary, Grange

even rating it a third growth is degrading wines such as St henri, dead arm etc, wines with history and pedigree to age. i would put the Ra at fifth until its proven it worth after 15 vintages. although this might be a little bias as i've gone off pretty much all ben Glaetzer (Michel Roland of Barossa) wines for about 12 months, only so much you can handle.

Lets just say I have never had a wine I've hated, but there are some I would rather not taste again....

Harsh but fair point, its hard to argue and not in the mood to.
