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 2021 Boxer is both elegant and powerful, with beautiful notes of fresh plum, mocha and liquorice lifting out of the glass. A soft plummy mouthfeel, well measured tannins and slightly toasted oak compliment the rich fruit, creating a wine with many layers.
