Mollydooker Shiraz McLaren Vale Blue Eyed Boy 2006

Wine Advocate ReviewRated 96The 2006 Shiraz "Blue Eyed Boy" is predominantly Padthaway fruit. Purple-colored, it has an intense aromatic display of smoke, violets, mulberry, blueberry, and chocolate. This leads to a full-bodied, plush, wine with layers of ripe, spicy black fruits, excellent focus and delineation. The tannins are well-concealed but this wine has enough stuffing to evolve for 6-8 years. Drink it through 2025.Wine Tasting NotesThis joyous wine was named after the Mollydooker Blue Eyed Boy, Sarah and Sparkys son, Luke.Just wait till you taste this wine!

There were 3 major components, but the blend was exponentially better than any of them. I dont understand how that happens.

Another highly coveted Shiraz by producer Molly Dooker. Get it while you can.

Inky purple. Boysenberry syrup and vanilla on the nose, with candied licorice adding complexity. Sweet dark berry flavors are gently supported by soft tannins and gain energy from a cracked pepper note.
