97 point – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate: “The Amon-Ra is a wine that’s well know for its graceful aging capacity, and so, in a vintage like 2021 (long, cooler than the horrendously low-yielding and drought-addled 2020 and 2019 prior), the release is eagerly anticipated. The 2021 Amon-Ra Shiraz is complete, in a word. The purple and red berries in the mouth are fresh and supple, the flow of flavor across the tongue feels unbroken and svelte, and the aftertaste is padded by chewy, pliable tannins. This is a real pleasure, and not just now – it will be later, too.”

96 point – James Halliday: “Shiraz sourced from vines between 50 to 130 years of age in the renowned northern Barossa subregion of Ebenezer; 16 months in new French and American oak. A wine of impact and purity. Beautiful ripe black plum, cassis and black cherry fruits with hints of cedar, baking spices, dark chocolate, licorice, nutmeg, espresso, earth and graphite. Power and harmony writ large with cascading tannin, lacy acidity and great depth and concentration … I feel it needs one of those big, old Batman-style ‘KAPOW!!’ boxes for emphasis. It’s a cracker.”

Amon-Ra er Ben Glaetzers topvin, og tillige en af verdens bedste Syrah/Shiraz-vine. Vinen laves på druer fra det eksklusive Ebenezer-distrikt i Barossa Valley. I glasset fremstår den blæksort. Duften er kolossalt rig og kompleks, med nuancer af koncentreret bærfrugt, mokka, engelsk lakrids, mineraler, og vanille. Smagen er eksplosivt aromatisk og åbner sig lag efter lag efter lag. Eftersmagen varer flere minutter. Nydes stille af rummelige glas i dag og fire årtier frem.​
