Score 17/20 · Drink 2009-2012, Jancis Robinson MW, Aug 2007

Very ripe and round with exceptional fruit intensity and a rather intriguingly tarry finish. Surely essence of McLaren Vale Shiraz. (JR)

Score 96/100 · Drink 2008-2020, Robert Parker, Oct 2006

Named after a mythical monster, the 2005 Shiraz Savitar emerges from rocky, low vigor soils, and was aged for 16 months in primarily new French oak barrels. Dazzling aromas of acacia flowers, blueberries, crushed rocks, graphite, licorice, and espresso roast emerge from this tightly knit but intense, fleshy, rich effort. Its multilayered palate, huge body, sweet tannin, and “monster” finish suggest this brilliant wine will be drinkable between 2008 and 2020. It is a superb example of McLaren Vale Shiraz.
