Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2012 Mollydooker "Carnival of Love" Shiraz McLaren Vale South Australia (95RP, 95WS). Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Very deep purple-black in color, the 100% Shiraz, single vineyard 2012 Carnival of Love exudes fragrant notes of warm blackberries, creme de cassis and dried mulberries intermingled with a lovely dried herb undercurrent, lavender, dark chocolate and anise. With a nice structure of medium to firm rounded tannins and a lively acid backbone, this very big, full and rich wine has a very long finish. (LPB)" (02/2014)

Sinewy, lithe and expressive, packing red berry, black cherry and cardamom aromas and flavors into a tightly focused package. The finish expands and powers up, driving a long and meaty finish. Displays muscle and poise. *#2 on the Top 100 Wines of 2014* (HS)
