Description

AMON RA 2003

A lovely bottle of this super wine, in great condition

In 2003 Amon Ra was awarded its first potential 100-point score from Robert Parker himself, catapulting them onto the world stage and cementing their place in the strong US market. Parker’s 100-point score surprised many as their wines are not manifested with the ‘archetypal’ blockbuster style associated with a 100 point Parker wine and instead Amon Ra has become better known for lovely elegance, structure and harmony that reflects Ben’s opinion that “there are more dimensions to Australian wine than many people give credit for.”

Tasted just before bottling, this fabulous Shiraz, made from a 98- to110-year-old dry-farmed vineyard in the northern Ebenezer sector of Barossa, was cropped at .12-1 ton of fruit per acre. Aged 15 months in a combination of American oak hogsheads and French barriques, it is a brilliant effort from young winemaker Ben Glaetzer. Killer stuff, with notes of crushed rocks, acacia flowers, graphite, blackberries, cassis, and smoke, it possesses extraordinary concentration, tremendous purity, a seamless personality, and a magnificent finish that lasts over 60 seconds. Since this cuvee is never filtered, this tasting note should be accurate, if somewhat conservative for the bottled wine. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2016+. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 155
