Mollydooker The Boxer Shiraz 2012

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2012 The Boxer Shiraz opens with tons of intense chocolate, vanilla and spice intermingling with an aromatic core of ripe and berry preserves. Very big, full and rich, it is so concentrated you could practically stand a spoon up in the glass. The medium-level velvety tannins hold through the long, slightly hot, finish. Drink it now to 2017. Score - 89. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, erobertparker.com, Feb. 2014)
