- green pepper, some spice, and menthol. The palate is rather tart and dry but not in an aggressive way -- savoury in the most positive sense. The texture is what stands out, coats the mouth, and leaves a streak of acidity that lingers. It has many of the elements of 2011 that are controversial, but I think this is a fantastic vintage wine that would work brilliantly as part of a meal. It is still young in its evolution but becoming approachable.
This offers strong, rich, and ripe fruit to the nose. Beautiful, but unique on the table. More soil, earth, and some cellar aromas are present as well. It is very rich and large in the mouth. Sweet fruit is present on a round, smooth texture. Soft, slight barrel funk is present here as well. Rich soil tones, with a green herbal component, poke through. There are some stemmy notes on the finish (though none are present in this wine), more green notes of herbs, and quite a lot of spice. Tart and rich, puckering, slightly bitter notes linger into the finish.

| Winery | Here, the nose is sufficiently reduced that it is hard to read, though the underlying fruit appears ripe. There is an exquisite mouth feel to the silky and lacy flavours that dance across the palate before culminating in an ultra-pure, long and beautifully well-balanced finish. This is one very classy effort that is textbook Mitans. 91-93 points Allen Meadows, Burghound /2019 |
