Firm, with juicy blackberry, cherry and tar flavors on a a tightly wound frame, finishing with refreshing acidity. Built for the long haul. Give it time to soften.

Aged 18 months in primarily French oak, the 2004 Shiraz G.A.M. is an exceptional example of a precise yet full-flavored, concentrated Shiraz. Its gorgeous perfume of blueberries, blackberries, camphor, licorice, and pain grille is followed by an inky/blue/purple-colored wine offering superb purity, full-bodied richness, and gorgeous depth as well as texture. This fabulous effort is another example of Ben Glaetzer's brilliant talents.

Deep colour, excellent hue; concentrated and rich red and black fruits, and plenty of dusty tannins.

Named GAM after the Mitolos’ children Gemma, Alex and Marco, and the first wine made, back in 2000. Very sweet, almost floral nose with good lift and no heat despite its 15%. Very slightly inky on the finish. Still a bit severe but should eventually provide lots of pleasure.

Very, very good. Big and thick like the Reiver of the same year, but infused with an earthern complexity that gives it a great kick along. This really fills the mouth. Intense cherry-blackberried fruit with a side glance of aniseed, the tannins are mature and significant and impressive, and while the alcohol is so strong it adds a bitterness, the overall show is quite a ride. Excellent length.

The G.A.M. shiraz expresses a more supple and fleshy style of shiraz and despite the 70 per cent new French oak, together with some French coopered American oak, it still shows admirable silky-sweet, ripe opulence backed with some fine, firm tannins. It's a beauty.
