WHO IS THE BOXER?
‘Mollydooker’ is old Aussie slang for a left handed boxer and our Boxer always punches well above its Fruit Weight™.
Did you notice he has two left-handed gloves?
TASTING NOTES:
Rich and deep the 2024 Boxer is both elegant and powerful, with beautiful notes of fresh plum, mocha nd liquorice jumping out of the glass.
A soft plummy mouthfeel, well measured tannins and slightly toasted oak compliment the rich fruit; a wine with many layers that is sure to impress.

I do like this wine, but Mollydooker is pretty contentious. They have a very American style, and apparently are more geared for the US market.
This is a great price though, and it drinks well young.
