The 2008 Amon-Ra is a bright spot in what was a difficult vintage in Barossa the 2008 Amon-Ra. This fabulous Shiraz brings layers of black cherry, branbleberries, licorice, exotic spices and a touch of toasted oak. On the palate it shows excellent structure that leads to a layered finish. This spent 15 months in 100% new oak, 20% American and 80% French. (Best 2012-2021) - September, 2011 (JD)
