Mitolo G.A.M. 2017 (93 WA)
“Another successful vintage, the 2017 GAM Shiraz is a bit more savory than usual, with meaty notes and hints of black olives joining rich blackberry flavors. Full-bodied and velvety on the palate, it remains juicy and fresh on the finish, picking up hints of cherries and raspberries. It should drink well for a decade.”
