My favorite of the Dooker's :

Very deep green-purple in color, the 2011 Carnival of Love flaunts a very expressive and fragrant nose with floral notes, roses and potpourri intermingled with toasty black cherries, creme de cassis, chocolate, pepper and accents of cinnamon and cloves. Rich, ripe and full-bodied, this concentrated, single-vineyard 100% Shiraz retains crisp acid, has low to medium levels of soft silky tannins before finishing very harmoniously and long. Drink it from 2014 to 2022+.

Rich, hedonistic, indulgent. Plum pudding, new saddle, blackberry cobbler, potpourri, fresh-rolled cigar, black sausage. Great glass for a nightcap instead of a Port or PX Sherry.

Dense and super complex before and after the Mollydooker Shake. Hints of blueberry, creme and smoke. Wide range of herbs and spiced textures on the sip. Vivid and refined finish that lingers for minutes...

This is a palate pounder. Big blasting flavors that don’t linger long but really don’t need too either. Baked blueberries and dark plums with a potpourri scent of dried lavender and lilac and other spices.

Is it too early to start New Years Eve drinking? It's probably (don't tell me if it's not) next year in Australia so we are starting down under. Popular wine for a reason. Big and bold. Bad picture...missing my favorite part, the hottie in the mask.
