2008 The Boxer

This year, hints of the Blue Eyed Boy make themselves known on the nose and the palate. With aromas of blueberry, raspberry, violets, cedar and tobacco, it has a kaleidoscope of flavours that explode in your mouth with layers of blackberry, licorice, and spicy sweet fruit. Super-rich and opulent with a lingering finish of dark fruit and vanilla-oak. There’s a reason everyone asks for The Boxer by name. Incredible power and purity.

Reviews: Wine Advocate - 91 points
'The 2008 Shiraz The Boxer is the deepest colored of the Mollydooker wines. Fragrant scents of bacon, game, lavender, plum, and blueberry lead to a dense, layered, ripe, and intense wine that can be enjoyed now but will continue to drink well for another 5-7 years.' - Jay Miller, www.erobertparker.com
