Mollydooker The Boxer Shiraz NV

The whole shaking process was a bit of a misstep, and the repeated shaking required a considerable amount of time, which was a major letdown. However, after putting in the extra effort, the wine turned out to be quite impressive, with a rich, jammy structure and a delightful equilibrium of sweet and tart flavors, offering touches of blueberry and blackberry. The zest was spot on, and the tannins were surprisingly low. I'm not sure why the winemaker felt the need to introduce the carbonation, but it certainly made an impact. Overall, the wine was a delightful surprise, and I'm glad I gave it a second chance.

Luscious and nuanced wine with a deep, bold fruit profile and a warm, spicy character, matched by a light black pepper note. Its zesty and lively trail makes it a great recommendation for sipping on its own or pairing with a variety of dishes.

Rich, full-bodied red wine with a deep, inky ruby hue. Its nose is powered by by the sweet, jammy hints of blueberry cobbler and floral notes, with a touch of ripeness. The mouthfeel is highlighted by a rich, fruity texture, with a prominent feel of ripe fruit and floral undertones. The tannins are well-balanced, providing composition and support. The linger is long and spicy, with a lingering warmth. but it's a bit too sweet for a solo sip, it's a great match for a hearty, savory dish like a juicy ribeye steak. Overall, a solid 3.8/5.
