March 10, 2024 - This Amon-Ra varies by the bottle. Every time a different chap. This time with a massive body, very well integrated tannin. A bit sweet ending. Lots of mocha. Very long finish of 30+ seconds. Great stuff again.

February 20, 2024 - A tour de force this has been consistently excellent on every occasion I have tasted this vintage. There is immense structure big and bold but in perfect harmony despite the 15abv there is zero excessive heat . So seductive and juicy with dense black fruits the aromas are a total knockout. There is plenty acidity which will aid this wines development for years to come . A brilliant wine.

October 7, 2023 - In a nice space and time here. Needs a little airtime to blow off some sappy fruit (yes still) but leans out and shows great structure and poise.

August 31, 2023 - This is 100% liquid beef jerky. I have no idea how this is going to evolve , but today, after 2 hours of decant time, this wine is 100% like drinking peppered beef jerky. 5 years left of life , but I am not sure how it is going to evolve. A very weird wine.
