A massive wine, but not lacking in sophistication—the 2010 Glaetzer Shiraz Amon-Ra Barossa Valley is baritone in style, and opens with a throaty chorus of burnt sugar, plums, blackberries, espresso, and sweet tobacco. Grippy, structured tannins on the attack give way to an intense black-fruited core that leaves in its wake a spicy trail of white and black pepper.
