  January 5, 2021 - Deep ruby. Med (+) aromas of blackcurrant, black plum, blackberry, blueberry and new oak-induced vanilla and dark chocolate. The nose is still relatively youthful at 7 yrs. Dry but fruit-forward, with med acidity, med, resolved tannins and high (16%) but well integrated alcohol. Full bodied, med (+) to intense, with a med (+) finish. Very good quality at a reasonable price, but somewhat formulaic, international in style. At or close to its peak, it is not likely to improve significantly with further aging.

  October 31, 2020 - Eccellent, gouteux, boisé, bu avec un braisé de veau, vraiment nous avons apprécié son ampleur de saveurs prononcés sur les fruits noirs. Robe très foncée, belle finale persistante.

  November 17, 2018 - Not very complex but very soothing. Big alcohol. Straight juicy middle ground. Happy numbness. No hard edges just dizzy oblivion.

  July 1, 2017 - Serve it blind and tell your guest it's a $100 Cali Cab and it would pass for many many people, so this is ridiculously good value. Not good enough for the $100+ club; it doesn't have that mineral chocolate back bone, but up to $100 no problem.
  
  Just great value for a big happy wine that is much more stylishly sophisticated than many would give it credit for.
  
  Serve it blind. I dare you.

  October 11, 2015 - This is a very high alcohol wine at 16% and this affects the taste and mouth feel. Deep solid red/purple color and the wine left a marked film on the glass. The nose was more limited than I was expecting - but the bottle appeared overfilled - just 1cm space to the top of the screw cap rather than the usual 2-3cm. This would limit the impact of the recommended Molly-Dooker shake as there is so little gas to mix into the wine. The taste was strong and smooth however, with lots of tannin. There was rich black fruit taste with a lingering after-taste. Another reviewer commented that Molly Dooker wines are a bit port-like due to the high alcohol. The wine is not sweet but I agree that it affects the taste.
