Lot 271 Details
MOLLYDOOKER CARNIVAL OF LOVE SHIRAZ 2006
McLaren Vale.

The 2006 Shiraz “Carnival of Love” was sourced from a single vineyard. The sensational nose, consisting of violets, lilacs, meat, game, leather, blueberry, and chocolate, leaps from the glass. On the palate this full-bodied wine somehow manages to combine power with elegance. The sweet tannins are well-concealed and the finish lasts for at least one minute. It will provide pleasure for 25 years but who will be that patient? 95 WS 97 WA


11 bts. per lot $1,600 - $1,800

Realised: $1,680
