Wine Summary Image

A monumental, full-bodied Barossa Valley red wine crafted by winemaker Ben Glaetzer from 50- to 130-year-old vines in the Ebenezer sub-region.

It balances immense concentration and power with unexpected elegance, freshness, and polish.

Colour: Deep, opaque purple-black.

Nose: Fragrant aromas of violets, wilted rose petals, mulberries, and blueberries layered with star anise, mocha, black pepper, and subtle toasty oak.

Palate: Rich and concentrated notes of ripe blackberry, dark plum, and cassis complemented by licorice, dark chocolate, and savory cumin, cloves, and earth.

Mouthfeel: Full-bodied yet balanced with a fine interplay of power and finesse, featuring refreshingly crisp acidity and firm, fine-grained, grainy tannins.

Finish: Long, warming, and deeply spiced.

Expert Reviews

Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate – 96+ points

"The 2009 Amon-Ra Shiraz displays a very deep purple-black color and floral notes of violets and wilted rose petals over mulberries, blueberries, star anise, mocha, fenugreek, cumin seeds, cloves and tree bark plus some toasty oak. Full-bodied and rich yet not overly so, it has refreshingly crisp acid and firm grainy tannins texturing the long spicy finish. Give it at least 2 years more in bottle and consider drinking it 2013 to 2024+."

James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion - 96 points

"Has the usual dense purple-crimson colour; there is an elusive Arabian/exotic spice nuance to the bouquet, the palate proclaiming the exceptional quality of the fruit and the mastery of Ben Glaetzer, able to invest this shiraz with so much dark berry flavour yet retain elegance. A beautiful wine. Drink by: 2030."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate - 96 points

"Deep purple-black colored, the 2009 Amon-Ra has pronounced creme de cassis and blueberry tart aromas over notes of raw meat, fertile loam, yeast extract and cloves. More elegant in the mouth, it has a medium to firm level of very fine tannins, vibrant and fresh acid that lingers nicely through a long and fruity finish. It is approachable now and will cellar to 2025+."

Jeremy Oliver - 95 points

"Modern, smooth and stylish, deeply and evenly ripened, with pleasing weight, elegance and suppleness. Rich and earthy but closed and withdrawn, its dense aromas of cassis and dark plums are knit with smoky, chocolatey oak. It's long, silky and luscious, with dense, briary and pastille-like flavours of small berries and plums artfully entwined with fine-grained oak, pliant tannins and fresh acids. Drink 2021-2029."

Cellar Condition

Provenance; “Place of origin; derivation”

  • The history of the ownership of an object, especially when documented or authenticated. Used for Artworks, Antiques, and Wine.
  • The records or documents authenticating such an object or the history of its ownership.

Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.

We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.

★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.

★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.

A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.

Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.

Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
