Wednesday, July 22, 2015 - Appearance: Bright and clear, it has deep purple color, with paler rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of black fruit such as blackcurrant, dark plum, blackberry and bilberry, oak notes of vanilla and cedar, kernel notes of chocolate, herbal notes of mint, pungent spice of licorice. The wine is youthful.
Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine has high tannin of ripe and a bit powdery on texture, with high alcohol and full body. It has medium (+) flavors of black fruit such as blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, oak notes of vanilla, kernel notes of coffee, dairy notes of cream, sweet spice of clove. The wine has a medium (+) finish.
Conclusion: Good quality Australian Cabernet Sauvignon, showing ripeness that demonstrates how well the variety can ripen in the climate, with an intense nose showing good complexity. Still a bit young, the palate has refreshing acidity though a bit less integrated than some of the other Mollydooker I tasted, but still with concentrated flavors and a fairly long finish. Ready to drink now, it can benefit from further ageing of another 3-5 years.
