The 2009 Amon-Ra Shiraz displays a very deep purple-black color and floral notes of violets and wilted rose petals over mulberries, blueberries, star anise, mocha, fenugreek, cumin seeds, cloves and tree bark plus some toasty oak. Full-bodied and rich yet not overly so, it has refreshingly crisp acid and firm grainy tannins texturing the long spicy finish. Give it at least 2 years more in bottle and consider drinking it 2013 to 2024+.
All Glaetzer’s fruit comes from the Ebenezer sub-region in northern Barossa Valley. 96+ points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate #192 (DEC 2010)
