  Deep ruby, open nose with dark berries with hint of spice and earth. Full body with sour cherry dominating, slightly acidic, but balanced. Nice long finish, wine has lots of life left, at least 5 years.

  At 12yrs of age, this is drinking quite smooth while still retaining a bit of Aussie power. I imagine this one was quite a flavor bomb near release, but it’s balanced today. Aromatically it has cocoa powder, juicy cherries and jammy blackberries, currant, mulberries and cinnamon. Lighter bodied than expected on the palate with a clean and pure profile. Cherry smoked wood, graham cracker, ripe black cherries and just a hint of menthol and Andes mint (which I commonly get with Aussie Shiraz). Not getting any better, but will probably hold in this window for a few more years.

  A nice fruit bomb that isn’t over the top. Lots of life left in this.

  2007 Mitolo Reiver Shiraz - the traditional intense ripe dark fruits, cassis, spice, coffee. What impresses os the clean, fresh palate, rich with dust tannins but a nice mineral, fresh character that lifts the wine.
