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
Pommard Premier Cru, Clos Des Épeneaux, Domaine Comte Armand 2021
The appellation’s grandest domaine, Comte Armand has been overseen by winemaker Paul Zinetti since 2014. Although it takes many years to reach its full potential, it’s worth the wait as with maturity Épeneux is like a universe in a glass, exploding exponentially in all directions at once. It has great intensity and a weight of rich fruit and impressively structured tannins but like great Barolo, it shows lively floral, elegance and purity too. As long-lived as many of the Côtes de Nuits’ most renowned wines, it has long been contended that if ever one Côte de Beaune wine deserves elevation to Grand Cru, this is it.
