About Mollydooker Blue Eyed Shiraz 2022 750ML
Mollydooker's Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz is a quintessential expression of McLaren Vale's sun-drenched terroir, delivering an opulent and generously proportioned wine that showcases the house's signature 'Mollydooker Shake' style. On the nose, it bursts with exuberant aromas of ripe blackberry, crushed blueberry, and dark plum, underpinned by seductive notes of milk chocolate, vanilla bean, and a whisper of mocha from well-integrated American oak. The palate is lush and voluptuous, coating the mouth with waves of dark berry compote, boysenberry jam, and a hint of dried fig, supported by velvety, plush tannins that are a hallmark of this producer. Subtle layers of cracked black pepper, cedar, and a touch of espresso add complexity and structure. The finish is long, warm, and indulgent, lingering with dark fruit sweetness and a gentle spice that invites the next sip.
