  This is a big wine with very good bouquet and mouth feel. The scoring between the 3 of us drinking this wine was inconsistent so I have averaged our scores. It certainly is a wine which needs to be carefully decanted as it has a lot of sediment which is not a bad thing in itself.

  I'm beginning to think that this vintage was never widely released due to it being a little lacklustre. Like previous, there is plenty of dark fruit, smokey notes and oak, but it just seems a little subdued compared to the usual BIG Mitolo style. Finish is, like last time, flat and a bit short. For the price I paid, I'm not complaining, but the 2005s and 2006s that I've had were noticeably better.

  I've always wondered what happened to this vintage. Other than the Halliday note, there's few reviews online and next-to-no-one selling this vintage. The nose is heavy with dark fruits, smoke and oak notes. The palate is likewise big - dark fruits, plums, oak notes. Tannins are smooth. Finish is medium. Not a bad effort for a tricky year.
