Just when you thought all the best reds from the 1998 vintage had gone, Doug Bowen finally released his long awaited Reserve Shiraz - Ampelon.
Over the years, Doug Bowen has observed that a particular vineyard consistently produced Shiraz fruit of exceptional quality. The outstanding 1998 vintage gave him the opportunity to produce an individual wine from this vineyard, the Ampelon.
It is a wine that makes you think that we too loosely use terms such as concentration, power and intensity when describing everyday commercial wines.
This is a mind blowing wine that would stand up against the best wines produced from this classic vintage. Like all great wines it is very limited...
