Mitolo Savitar Shiraz 2015 (93 WA)
“Matured in 100% new French oak (versus 70% new for the GAM), the 2015 Savitar Shiraz is a bit tighter and toastier up front, with cedary and menthol notes that dominate some of the herb and spice notes found in the GAM. The powerful, dark fruit still comes through, like a locomotive of blackberries and plums, ripened to creamy suppleness and extracted to silky richness, with plenty of finesse and length on the finish.”
