Amon-Ra Shiraz 2019 Glaetzer Wines, Barossa Valley

96+ point - Robert Parker:

"The 2019 Amon Ra Shiraz is 100% Shiraz and 100% from the 2019 vintage, as Ben Glaetzer felt it—unlike many previous vintages—didn't need to be freshened with a small proportion of younger wine. From old vines in the Ebenezer district of the northern Barossa Valley, it offers classic notes of blackberries and spice, framed by hints of cedar and vanilla.(it's aged in 100% new oak hogsheads, mostly French). It's full-bodied yet crisp, supple but tight and really long. Offering lovely dark fruit, hints of espresso and black olive, it finishes mouthwatering and firm."

96 point & Guldmedalje - James Halliday:

"From 50-130yo vines in Ebenezer. Matured 16 months in new 95% French and 5% American oak barrels; unfiltered. Gloss and polish of superb black fruits, framed in superfine tannins are Ben Glaetzer’s hallmarks. He continues to hone his talent at sustaining brightness and freshness, even in northern Barossa shiraz of monumental proportions. This represents one of his finest works yet. Bitter dark chocolate oak holds an enticing finish that ricochets with inky black fruits and licorice."

Amon-Ra er Ben Glaetzers topvin, og tillige en af verdens bedste Syrah/Shiraz-vine. Vinen laves på druer fra det eksklusive Ebenezer-distrikt i Barossa Valley. I glasset fremstår den blæksort. Duften er kolossalt rig og kompleks, med nuancer af koncentreret bærfrugt, mokka, engelsk lakrids, mineraler, og vanille. Smagen er eksplosivt aromatisk og åbner sig lag efter lag efter lag. Eftersmagen varer flere minutter. Nydes stille af rummelige glas i dag og fire årtier frem.​
