Community Tasting Note

  April 26, 2010 - Is it wine or something else? Taking my last sips of this 2005 now, which I have never tasted before. I opened and served it yesterday with a great piece of filet mignon here in Wailea on vacation. Opened about 45 mins before dinner. This wine is shockingly similar on day 2 to day 1; heavy, syrupy, tannic. It tastes... good? Interesting? Strawberry and tar flavors were kind of hidden by the tannins. This wine is remarkably similar to other (less expensive) mollydookers like the Boxer. I can't reall detect varietals in it even though it clams to be Shiraz and Cabernet.
  
  On the down side, it added nothing to the food and maybe even conflicted. On the plus side, it's a good, interesting drink. But, I doubt I would never pay for this bottle again. Much better food wine available at similar prices.
