Winery Ben Glaetzer Eye of Ra Gift box 2016

Ben Glaetzer's benchmark for "The Eye of Ra' was to create nothing less than the archetype of a Barossa Shiraz. The winery calls it an "ultra-premium Shiraz', created in the search for the "perfect' wine. Hand-picked grapes from vines up to 110 years old form the basis, followed by cool fermentation below 18? Celsius and 16 months of ageing in 100% new French barriques.The result is a deeply impressive masterpiece of immense intensity and complexity. Dark plum, blackcurrant and blueberry combine with notes of mocha and liquorice to create a never-ending, beguiling experience of profound depth.
