Amon Ra Shiraz 2005 Ben Glaetzer 5 x 75cl / 14.5%

This lot contains five bottles of Amon-Ra Shiraz 2005 produced and bottled by Glaetzer Wines in South Australia.

'The profound 2005 Shiraz Amon Ra is fashioned from a dry grown, 100- to 110 year-old vineyard, and spends 14 months in a combination of 100% new French and American barrels as well as 300-liter hogsheads. A saturated purple color is followed by scents of creme de cassis, incense, licorice, black raspberries, graphite, and sweet wood. It unfolds beautifully on the palate to reveal terrific richness, full-bodied power, great definition, and lovely elegance. This exquisite Shiraz is still young, but it possesses a degree of accessibility. It should age for two decades. It is a superb example of cutting edge winemaking being utilized on ancient Shiraz vines in the Barossa. 98/100' Robert M. Parker Jnr., tasted 2006
