Mollydooker's 2018 Carnival of Love Shiraz is more red-fruited and structured than I expected, given the wine's stated 16% alcohol. Raspberries and cedar mark the nose, with hints of chocolate, espresso and baking spices. In the mouth, it's full-bodied, dense and powerful, with ripe but firm tannins supporting the bright berry flavors, then easing into a long, velvety and mouthwatering finish. It should drink well for around a decade, but if you're shy of tannins, you may want to wait another year or two before opening.Inc. TAX€480.44 -

The 2017 vintage was one of the milder vintages in WA. The latest Moss Wood captures this vintage perfectly and is without doubt one of the more restrained and tightly framed Moss Woods of recent years. Not the opulence of 2014 or the firm power of the 2016. Yet it retains the elegance, perfume and soft approachability that is Moss Wood. And hidden within is a wine that I suspect will still be drinking beautifully in 30 years. Make sure you decant it even now before drinking.Inc. TAX€672.23 -

High expectations accompany iconic labels such as Moss Wood, especially following on from the powerful 2020. This elegantly styled 21 vintage steps up and delivers, even in its youth. This is a wine built for cellaring and, as such, it was day two when the full gamut of flavours and textures opened up, in all their magisterial glory. Think boysenberry, blueberry essence and blackberries with nuances of nori, black olive, cedar and oak toast. There’s boundless flavour intensity and a nervy freshness and silkiness to the mouthfeel. Quite the feat of engineering to craft something so substantial yet with such lightness of touch. Stunning.Inc. TAX€429.83 -

Made from low-yielding, 80-year-old vines, the wine is matured in French oak for 18 months to enhance its flavour profile. The result is a classically structured Shiraz, boasting compelling notes of blackberry, plum and complex spice. Its full-bodied palate, vivid tannic structure and elegant, long finish make the Oliver's Taranga Mclaren Vale Estate Shiraz 2003 an exquisite showcase of Australian winemaking craftsmanship. As vouched by respected wine publications worldwide, this vintage provides a lavish and authentic taste of the Mclaren Vale terroir. Do savour the transformative journey from the first exciting sip to the depth of the last drop. Please note, this wine's character may evolve with cellaring.
