Savitar Shiraz--Vintage 2004
McLaren Vale. Mitolo
Tasting note: Bordering on perfection is the 2004 Shiraz Savitar. Made from 30-50 year old vines, and aged 18 months in 100 new French hogsheads as well as smaller barriques, it boasts an opaque purple colour, and an extraordinary nose of acacia flowers, blueberries, raspberries, and blacker fruits, melted licorice, and graphite. It possesses amazing intensity, great equilibrium, a fabulous, multi-layered mid-palate, and a blockbuster finish. This extraordinary Shiraz should prove to be one of the legends of southern Australia's great 2004 vintage. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. 98 points. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
