Robert Parker 99 points!'Deep garnet-black in color, the 2004 Amon-Ra exudes lovely dark fruit, spice box and anise notes over kirsch, creme de cassis and mincemeat, plus a savory and meaty whiff. Full-bodied, it is generous and rich in the mouth with bright acid and a medium-firm level of fine-grained tannins. It finishes long and fine. Drink it now until 2022+. .'

Jeremy Oliver 94 points!'A supremely ripe and confiture-like modern Barossa shiraz whose ethereal, musky and briary aromas of blackcurrant, dark Swiss chocolate, dark olives, stewed plums, nutmeg and cinnamon are backed by smoky nuances of mocha/vanilla oak. Deeply ripened and slightly meaty, its substantial and luxuriant palate of sumptuous fruit is framed by firm but silky-smooth tannins, finishing long, savoury and slightly mineral.'

Campbell Mattinson 95 points!'The new face of Barossan shiraz. It was made with extended skin contact, was cold fermented, had quite a bit of lees stirring and was then matured in French oak. All this seems to have heightened the aroma and softened the texture, without adding much in the way of overt oak flavours. It also seems to have kept the fruit exceptionally fresh in its profile. Full of firm but highly orchestrated, chocolatey, olive-like tannin, with inky fruit on tar on fresh full-summer plums. Exceptional mouthfeel and exquisite length, with a perfect pitch of flavour and feel and strength. Magnificent. In the glass, it rose even higher.'
