This wine out of bottle (no decant) worried me as past it's prime. Nose was old, with a bit of mustiness. First sip confirmed an older vintage. From there, this wine exploded with flavors. It just kept getting bigger and more dramatic. By the end, I was regretting not having more. Absolutely loved this wine and age has not done this girl any damage.

Lots of ripe fruit and cassis with a prominent oak treatment. If high oak does not bother you or ruin your food taste, you will love this bottle! Well rounded and enjoyable wine. Medium to long length.

Pnp thru aerator. Complexity - not very 7 Texture - smooth 9 Mid palate density - pretty good 8 Proportion - pretty good 8 Finesse - good 9 Balance - good 9 All in all, a very pleasant wine. Not as fruit-forward as many Mollies. Certainly, not tasting hot. Good stuff.

Past it’s prime. Losing some of its muscle
