Mollydooker Wines
The Boxer Shiraz
South Australia, Australia
Deep, dark Ruby with a big fruity nose and lots of ripe berries with oaky notes. Jammy big and bold blackberry flavors with some spice, cacao, cedar and leather notes with nice mouthfeel. Big fine tannins with berry fruit carried over to the finish with oak and sweet spice. Nice!

2006 | Shiraz
Mollydooker; The Boxer
South Austraila; McLaren Vale / Langhorne Creek, Australia
Last bottle from a case purchase in July 2007, ~$20. Showing a little more vanilla notes than prior bottles, finally seeing some reduction in color on the edges, lots of chunky+fine sediment, bottle held great under the standard screwcap closure for the producer, on the backside of peak but still elegant over-ripe+dried raspberries, blueberry pie. 2H decant, continuing to unfold. (91-92pts)

Fruit bomb. Learned about the Mollydooker shake. Interesting marketing. Expensive for an entry level though...

The 17 vintage drinking very nicely right now, and better than previous vintages I tried. Delicious layers of cassis and red fruit. Well rounded. At 16% alcohol it’s rightfully called the Boxer.
