  Wow what a surprise - big bold spicy, peppery, ala a Aussie Shiraz. The profile of this was more so, obtuse, bold fruits, than a Bordeaux Merlot varietal profile of more reserved softer fruits as used in blends to soften the more tannin and structured Cabernet. At fifteen years, this was showing nicely and seemed to be still within its prime drinking window, showing no signs of diminution from age whatsoever.
  
  Bright ruby colored, medium full bodied, vibrant expressive red and black berry fruits accented by bold spice with notes of pepper, cedar, and hints of cassis and bitter dark mocha with a full round tannin bright acid laced finish.

  Still going strong. Needed some air to mellow it. Fruit, smooth but short finish.

  Yikes... So over the top. Way too alcoholic. Fun to serve blind, but way too much. I doubt that Mollydooker will ever take my fancy.

  - Garnet color - Needed to decant as it was a bit harsh early on.

  Pepper, spice and delicious fruit ... Go on decant for an hour and enjoy with seared tuna.
