Glaetzer Wines 'Amon-Ra' Shiraz 2016

As classic and good as it gets from new world Shiraz. Old vines in the heart of the Barossa from the regions most revered producer. Intense, rich and unctuous with notes of black cherry, cocoa and balsamic. Big and burly, but holding onto plenty of elegance, this is a super, super example. 

Press review:
Dramatic, intense and powerful, the 2016 Amon Ra Shiraz recalls the 2004 in its youth, crammed with layers of fruit, complex, savory elements and rich, velvety tannins. It's full-bodied, characterized by notes of grilled meat, espresso, black olive, cassis, vanilla, baking spices and an undercurrent of loamy earth. Yes, it's unapologetically big and bold, the product of a warm, sunny climate and ripe grapes, but it does show a sense of decorum, restraint and elegance on the long finish.
