This Mollydooker Carnival Love Shiraz, from the vibrant 2023 vintage, is expected to be an incredibly expressive and powerful wine. On the nose, anticipate an explosion of ripe dark fruits such as blackberry, plum, and black cherry, interwoven with notes of dark chocolate, licorice, and sweet baking spices like vanilla and clove from oak aging. The palate will be full-bodied, rich, and hedonistic, offering concentrated fruit flavors that echo the aromas. Expect a luxurious texture, velvety tannins, and a balanced acidity that provides structure. The finish should be long, opulent, and memorable, often leaving a lingering impression of mocha or espresso.
