Mitolo, Savitar Shiraz Size:12x750ml once last yearReferring to a to a mythical, dragon like monster, the 2006 Mitolo Shiraz Savitar is a barrel selection from the top lots and is aged in 100% new medium to light toasted French barrique for 16 months. The wine is much more dense and tight than the 06 G. A. M., offering black fruits, charred earth, chocolate and herbs. Theres some oak sticking out and the wine lacks the suave, supple nature the prior wine. The palate needs ample air to come together
