The 2004 GSZ (which I assume stands for Grenache, Shiraz, and Zinfandel) exhibits a briery density, superb purity, medium to full body, and big, flamboyant aromas of pepper, spice box, and red and black fruits. Consume it over the next 2-4 years. This red is a concentrated, full-throttle effort representing a classic example of Barossa winemaking, and, like so many Australian and New Zealand wines, it is finished with a screw cap.Importer: Vine Street Imports, Philadelphia, PA; tel.
