"Color: dark; Nose: discreet; Aromas: mineral; Acidity: lively; Sweetness: medium dry; Body: firm; Finish: medium; Overall: pleasant; RP 92:"The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon “Jester” includes 20% dried grapes in the style of Amarone. Purple-colored, it has a fragrant bouquet of black fruits, tar, and violets. This leads to a smooth-textured, layered, dense wine with enough structure to evolve for 4-6 years. It has a long, pure finish and can be enjoyed over the next 15-20 years. It is a superb value in Cabernet Sauvignon. Mitolo, which began operations in 1999, is a partnership of the Mitolo family and winemaker Ben Glaetzer. The focus is on McLaren Vale fruit from Willunga, the most southern part of the district." "

"Signs of adolescent confusion; slightly jammy fruit, a solid slab of chocolate and vanilla oak, then a slightly short finish. May improve with time. Screwcap.
