Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Tuesday, February 28, 2012 - - Brick color with slow forming legs. It's balanced and has flavours of strawberry jam and blackberry with a medium/full body. Round texture with a medium finish - Opened this tonight for a simple roast chicken and herbed root vegetables. First glass was angular and somewhat chemical, with a bunch of odd tannic notes, not balanced and barely present fruit. I usually really enjoy this wine, what happened? Then I remembered THE MOLLYDOOKER SHAKE... next glass was back in familiar arms. Softer acids, fruits of fig and jammy berries, much better balanced. Yummy! (Plays really with the roasted turnips shallots, and parsnips.) Very drinkable now. Just remember to shake it... check their website if you don't know what I mean.
