(Last bottle) - fresh, dark purple in glass, lifted dark berries, soft leather, violets. Silky resolved tannins, sweet cherry, kirschwasser, juicy. Tobacco leaf, mandarin peel, balanced and elegant. Power with elegance! Long long finish with classic eucalypt and fresh mint. Great stuff, drinking spectacularly right now.

The score is due to disappointment. Nothing wrong with it but a wine with this heritage and cost ought to be more layered, more complex and more of a showstopper. What I got was a perfectly pleasant Shiraz. It wears its years and alcohol well but it was just a Shiraz instead of an experience.

this was my last of these. fully mature and not predicting any improvement from here on but still very good and holding. full bodied, nothing syrupy or heavy-handed like some oz bombs, this is very nicely balanced with both fruit and savoury qualities, smooth and had everyone wanting more. i generally find these older mitolo savitars better than their G.A.M. counterparts. broad appeal.

Disappointing, quite sweeter than expected and not balanced. Almost like a Zin fruit bomb
