Australia Blue Eyed Boy 2014 by MollyDooker Approx. $50 94 points Gift from Brian O on October 3, 2016 Shiraz Southern Australia Following up the gorgeous '13 'Blue Eyed Boy' this 2014 'Blue Eyed Boy' bottling weighs in at 15.5% alcohol and was sourced from the Joppich vineyard in Langhorne Creek and the Gateway and Kirwin vineyards in McLaren Vale. This rich Shiraz begins with aromas of blueberry compote, black raspberry, smoked meats, cedar and black cherry. This leads to dense flavors of blueberry pie, blackberry, mocha and roasted dates. This decadent wine is done in the viscous and opulent style, with mouthwatering fruit and lovely fruit weight that makes it impossible to resist. (Best 2016-2024) -  April, 2016 (OB)
