About Mollydooker Boxer Shiraz 2024 750ML
Mollydooker's Boxer Shiraz is a quintessential McLaren Vale powerhouse, opening with an exuberant burst of dark fruit that immediately signals its generous, sun-drenched origins. On the aroma, expect a lush cascade of blackberry compote, crushed blueberry, and dark plum, lifted by a seductive violet florality and a whisper of milk chocolate. The palate is plush and voluminous, delivering wave after wave of ripe boysenberry, mocha, and sweet vanilla oak, underpinned by a velvety tannin structure that is Mollydooker's hallmark. The wine's signature 'Velvet Glove' texture coats the mouth with a silky richness that never feels heavy, thanks to a lively thread of dark cherry acidity keeping everything in balance. Hints of cracked black pepper, cedar, and a touch of coconut from American oak weave through the mid-palate, adding complexity to the fruit-forward core.
