The Boxer
WHO IS THE BOXER?
‘Mollydooker’ is old Aussie slang for a left handed boxer and our Boxer always punches well above its Fruit Weight™. Did you notice he has two left-handed gloves?
TASTING NOTES:
The 2023 Boxer is poised to impress Shiraz enthusiasts with its deep and complex profile. It features a solid core of dark fruit, including ripe black cherries, mocha, and a hint of clove spice, all of which emerge vividly from the glass. The wine’s rich and velvety mouthfeel is enhanced by a soft plummy texture, while well-measured tannins and a touch of toasted oak provide balance and structure. This combination creates a rich, multi-layered experience, making the 2023 Boxer a truly engaging and enjoyable tasting experience.
