I liked the power right out of the bottle. It's a massive wine that settles down a bit.

2011 Mollydooker Shiraz Carnival of Love

I'm so torn here because Mollydooker is consistently one of my favorite wines and hands down the COL is the flagship (well Velvet Glove aside). I just had some Enchanted Path from this vintage and it was great and I had the opportunity to buy some of this for $30 so I went for it. I popped and did the Mollydooker shake and drank and was kinda bummed at how thin it was. It was more like a heady Pinot than COL that I am used to and so I let it sit for about 2 hours and it did open up some. I think this vintage is particularly tight and a bit thinner than previous years, but this may appeal to a larger base that doesn't like the Mollydooker smash mouth style. I will wait and review again later

It is not my favorite OS wine but I will tell you what, for the price point it is exceptional. It has a heavy powerful mouthfeel, and while it can be a bit hot it has a fruit forward - fig flavor. This profile may be appreciated by some and disliked by others. We bought a couple of cases and drank one and gave the rest for gifts to friends.
