Domaine de Chevalier Rouge, (Magnum) 2019
Domaine de Chevalier is one of Pessac-Léognan's most exceptional estates, and the 2019 is a reminder of exactly why it commands such fierce loyalty among those who know Bordeaux beyond the headline châteaux. This is a wine built on Cabernet Sauvignon's structural backbone with Merlot lending flesh and Petit Verdot adding a violet-edged intensity. The tannins are firm and linear right now — this is not a wine to crack open without ceremony in 2026 — but they carry genuine finesse rather than brute force, and the acidity keeps everything alive and focused through a long, perfumed finish. William Kelley called it a masterclass in contemporary Bordeaux, and we're not arguing. Give it until at least 2029, and ideally 2030 onwards, and you'll be rewarded with something rather special.
Mollydooker Velvet Glove Shiraz 2022
A dark, rich, and texturally opulent Shiraz, described as wrapping the entire palate in a ‘velvet glove’. Aromas of black plum, blueberries, roasted coffee, and anise are complemented by a supremely smooth, molten chocolate-like mouthfeel. Liquorice and allspice linger on the finish, perfectly balancing structure and depth. Vineyard & Terroir Grapes sourced from the Gateway vineyard in McLaren Vale, hand-selected for optimal ripeness and concentration. Winemaking Barrel fermented and matured in 100% new American oak, with malolactic fermentation enhancing texture and richness. Tasting Notes Black plum, blueberries, roasted coffee, anise, liquorice, allspice; deep, rich, smooth, and structured. Grape Variety Shiraz (Syrah) Food Pairing Ideal with slow-roasted meats, braised beef, or spiced dark chocolate desserts. Awards Wine Spectator: 95 pts Mollydooker Wines
