1. MITOLO Serpico Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
S. Autralia Mclaren Vale  

           

WA (LBP) Tasting Note:
The 2008 Serpico was made in the Amarone method from grapes picked at around 12.5%
and semi-dried slowly, finishing at around 15% alcohol. In 2008 it managed to side-skirt the
heat as it was picked early. It was matured for 9 months in 100% new barriques, 90% French.
Very deep garnet-purple colored, it gives pronounced notes of creme de cassis, Christmas cake,
plum pudding, anise, cassia and nutmeg. The rich, full-bodied flavors are very spicy on the palate,
off-set by crisp acid and medium-firm fine tannins, finishing with persistent, somewhat savory
flavors of mincemeat and marmite toast. Drink Now to 2022+.

WA (LPB) Tasting Note:
Aged 14 months in 100% new oak (90% French / 10% American), the 2009 Savitar Shiraz
has a deep garnet-purple color and an earthy / savory nose with notes of tree bark, meat,
tobacco and black truffles with a warm mulberry and black plum core plus a fragrant hint
of sandalwood. Full bodied with plenty of mouth-filling savory and blackberry flavors,
it’s well supported with very crisp acid and a medium level of chewy tannins, finishing long.
Still a little tight, it should drink now to 2020+.
