Mitolo Savitar Shiraz 2014 (95 JD)
“The 2014 Shiraz Savitar comes from a tiny, extremely rocky part of the Lopresti Vineyard (from a block called the Chinese Block) and 40+-year-old vines. It’s destemmed and spends 18 months in 100% new French oak. It’s a beautiful 2014 offering notes of ripe dark fruits, iron, tobacco, and olive. It has an almost Hermitage-like style, full-bodied richness, sweet tannin, and a great finish, all making for a stunning McLaren Vale Shiraz that will keep for 10-15 years.”
