WOW! A knockout in both namesake and drinking delight. The Boxer encapsulates the Mollydooker style to a tee and punches well above its weight. A blend of McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek fruit has helped create a wine of many complexities and decadence.
Robert Parker 90 Points "Mollydooker's 2019 The Boxer Shiraz is—no surprise here—a big, plush wine that's labeled at 16% alcohol. Despite that, it's only a bit warm on the palate, with sufficient masses of blackberry fruit and vanillin oak to stand up to the alcohol. Full-bodied and supple, it's barrel fermented in nearly 50% new oak, all of it American, but somehow comes across as pretty and harmonious, an oversized version of Fantasia's Hyacinth Hippo dancing to its own beat."
