January 13, 2013 - Laugh all you will -- this was an amazing wine. Have not had one in a few years; well past my loving Aussie phase, but this reminds you why you once did. Sure, everyone jumped in to see who could make it bigger than the other, and actually the much less well known Aussie producers who do actual terroir based wines are world class, older Amon-Ra's remind you that for sheer drinking pleasure, these could match up with anyone. Yes, the fruit was good, but elements of earth showed themselves everywhere in this wine, giving it minerality I did not expect but certainly appreciated. Young as hell also, this has years and years ahead of it.
