2005 Mollydooker "The Boxer" Shiraz

[Drew]

This is Sarah and Sparky Marquis (Fox Creek and Marquis Phillips fame) new venture. So you want ridiculous? You got it with this wine. It's the biggest, fattest, concentrated shiraz I've ever had! Huge blackberry and blueberry flavors with a smack of chocolate. Oily in the mouth. Our friend Ann could not get over the chocolate note in this wine. The legs on the glass were numerous and thick. So what do you eat with this monster? Chocolate iced brownies. It was a perfect match. Pure hedonisim. Other than a chocolate dessert I can't imagine what you would pair this with. It should be in the dessert wine isle. 16%Alc/vol. $22 but I paid $18. One cool marketing element with this wine is on the back label it has a small postage stamp with all the relevant information so restaurant consumers can remember the wine by pulling off the stamp and taking it home. FWIW, Parker gave this wine a 95.
