Note di degustazione
Glass-staining purple. Deeply pitched aromas of ripe dark berries, cherry-cola, licorice and violet are sharpened by a peppery nuance. Alluringly sweet and broad on the palate, offering lush black and blue fruit preserve, floral pastille, mocha and vanilla flavors that slowly firm up through the back half. Finishes on a smoky note, with superb persistence, youthfully chewy tannins and a lingering suggestion of blackberry preserves. (JR)

This is a very bold, rich statement of ripe blackberries and plums, swathed in spicy oak. Chocolate and sweet-earth notes and a spear of lemon-like acidity through firm, assertive tannins. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
A profound example of Ebenezer fruit and skilled winemaking, the 2017 Amon Ra Shiraz is full-bodied and velvety in texture, picking up more nuances the longer it sits in the glass. Floral and mint notes appear on the nose, along with a mix of raspberries, blackberries and baking spices. There's plenty of new oak, but it's been mostly absorbed into the wine, leaving a drink that's rich and sumptuous. And just when you think it's over, a bit of licorice appears on the long finish to add a pleasant finale.
