Review

« The key to Amon-Ra Shiraz is balancing the extraction rather than maximizing it as the fruit has such expression that we aim to preserve the characteristics of the vineyard rather than dominate them. At release, the 2007 Amon-Ra Shiraz is a tight wine due to the tannins of this vintage, with the trademark elegance, finesse and balance. Stylistically it is like the 2005 although more concentrated at this stage. »

Opinioni degli esperti

James Halliday « Vibrant colour ; saturated black fruits, fruitcake, licorice and an element of tar ; terrific purity and drive, and despite the power, the palate is lithe and supple ; complex, compelling and certainly representative of the very essence of the region. »

Robert Parker « The 2007 Amon-Ra Shiraz was sourced from vines ranging in age from 50 to 110 years with yields of only 0.5 tons per acre. It spent 15 months in 100 % new oak, predominantly French. A glass-coating, opaque purple in color, it reveals a brooding nose of wood smoke, mineral, scorched earth, Asian spices, blueberry, and chocolate. Super-rich, dense, yet surprisingly light on its feet, this extraordinary effort will evolve for a decade and offer a drinking window stretching from 2015 to 2035. »
