Score 97/100 · Drink 2014-2026, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Feb 2013

Deep purple-black in color, the 2010 Velvet Glove is scented of creme de cassis, blackberry cordial, dried plums with nuances of mocha, vanilla and chocolate. Very fine in the mouth, it has a nice, crisp acid backbone and medium levels of fine tannins to support all the big and rich fruit. It finishes long. Drink it from 2014 to 2026+. Imported by Mollydooker Wines, USA

Easily the most complete, layered, and pure of the lineup, the 2010 Mollydooker Shiraz Velvet Glove (100% Shiraz aged almost all in 100% new American oak) is a powerful, yet elegant Shiraz that boast stunning aromas of blackberry liqueur, mineral, coffee, roast beef, and hints of flower oil that flow to a full-bodied, seamless, and beautifully balanced palate. While no lightweight, this is remarkably deft and clean on the palate for a wine of this size and shows fantastic purity of fruit, layers of texture, and a brilliantly focused, long finish. Thrilling stuff that needs an hour of air to shine, this hedonistic delight should not be missed by any Shiraz lover! Enjoy bottles over the coming decade or more.
