Mollydooker Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz 2022 750ml

Mollydooker was founded in McLaren Vale by husband-and-wife Sparky and Sarah Marquis. Blue Eyed Boy belongs to the Family Series and is named after Luke, Sarah's son, who heads Mollydooker sales.

The 2022 comes from four McLaren Vale vineyards and the Joppich vineyard in Langhorne Creek. It was barrel fermented and matured in American oak, about half of it new. It's a ripe 16.5% alcohol, vegan friendly and sealed with a screw cap.

It's a deep, dark purple, with blueberry, fresh plum and mocha cream, then berries and aniseed on the palate and a creamy chocolate finish with gentle tannins.

Against Layer Cake Shiraz, Blue Eyed Boy is riper, fuller and more concentrated; for a plush, special-occasion Shiraz, choose Blue Eyed Boy.

Mollydooker bottles with nitrogen, so do the Mollydooker Shake: pour half a glass, recap, shake the bottle upside down and reopen. Serve it at cool room temperature, decant it for 30 to 60 minutes, and drink it over the next decade.
