Mollydooker Velvet Glove Shiraz 2018
WHAT IS THE VELVET GLOVE?
The wine that wraps your entire palate in a ‘Velvet Glove’ of amazing fruit flavours that seem to last forever.
TASTING NOTES:
Dense, dark and brooding in the glass, the 2018 Velvet Glove Shiraz is complex and sumptuous. Black plum, blueberries and roasted coffee intermingle with anise in its lifted fragrance. A supremely smooth molten chocolate mouthfeel accentuates the precise balance of infinitely complex structure, expressing deep flavours of berries, whilst liquorice and allspice linger on the palate. 2018 has produced a Velvet Glove of incredible eminence and elegance that is truly the pinnacle of Mollydooker Wines.
