Tasting notes
Glaetzer's Amon-Ra Shiraz is something special among Australian Shiraz wines. This vintage, especially from 2003, shows the depth and power you'd expect, and it's beautifully aged, ready to be enjoyed now.
In 'Drops of God' Volume 23, this wine appears as a candidate for the Seventh Apostle, brought by Shizuku. It's the 'discovery' wine at Angkor Wat, carrying a unique significance. You can see why Shizuku chose it—it's got that deep aroma and complex taste.
Pour it into a glass, and you'll see a deep garnet hue. The aroma is open, with blackberry and cassis, plus a hint of black pepper spice teasing your nose. When you take a sip, rich fruit flavors unfold, and the acidity is lively. The tannins are silky, giving a smooth mouthfeel. The finish is long, leaving that taste lingering.
To enjoy this wine fully, use a large glass to really capture its aromas. Decanting it could bring out even more of its potential. It's a wine to savor and enjoy during special moments.
