title: Mitolo 2009 Reiver Shiraz (Barossa Valley)
description: Mint marks the nose of this otherwise darkly attractive wine. Notes of mocha and plum nicely set up the wine, as do the supple tannins, but then there's a jarring edge of prickly acidity that cuts across the palate and disrupts the flow. There are some nice parts here that don't quite come together.
variety: Shiraz
designation: Reiver
