Anaperenna by Ben Glaetzer, particularly from the excellent 2021 Barossa Valley vintage, typically presents a deep, opaque ruby color. On the nose, expect an intensely aromatic bouquet of ripe black fruits like blackberry, cassis, and dark plum, intertwined with complex notes of licorice, black pepper, dark chocolate, and roasted coffee beans, often with a hint of cedar or vanilla from oak aging. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, yet beautifully balanced, offering a concentrated burst of fruit flavors complemented by savory spice, well-integrated firm tannins, and a vibrant acidity that provides structure. The finish is exceptionally long, persistent, and evolves with layers of fruit and spice.
