From Mitolo Winery comes a classic shiraz from McLaren Vale. This typifies what really good Aussie shiraz can be.
This did not quite rich that "inky and brooding" level of shiraz but it was awful close. The color was dark, saturated purple that seemed at times to be almost black. Very full-bodied but with nice balance.
The nose gave up some rich chocolate and pepper while the palate carried over with some coffee bean, licorice, cherry and spice. A long, lingering finish was rounded out by sweet tannins and a touch oak.
$17.99 a bottle for this seems like a pretty reasonable price, considering the quality.
Cheers!
