Lot 205 Details
MOLLYDOOKER THE VELVET GLOVE SHIRAZ 2011
McLaren Vale.

Very deep purple-black in color, the 2011 Velvet Glove is chock full of ripe and spicy blackberries, fresh blueberries and creme de cassis aromas that are accented by Chinese five spice notes and hints of chocolate, vanilla and some tar. Full-bodied, it is ripe and rich with a nice line of acid and medium-firm, fine-grained tannins. Concentrated and persistent on the finish, it shows beautiful elegance and freshness and is a nicely delineated and expressive example of the varietal and its regional home. Drink: 2015-2025 97 WA


11 bts. (OC) per lot $2,300 - $2,700
