Mollydooker Carnival of Love Shiraz 2016

Strikes the right balance between dense, dark flavors and a juicy, vibrant note. Apricot, cherry and raspberry flavors are pure, ripe and expressive, mingling well with Earl Grey tea, sarsaparilla and orange zest accents. The tannins are concentrated and a tad rustic on the finish, adding a charming chewy element. Drink now through 2027. Score - 93. (MaryAnn Worobiec, winespectator.com, March 31, 2018)
