Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 7, 2019 - While I don’t buy a lot of Mollydooker due to its style normally being a touch more than I enjoy, this was a pleasant surprise. I expected a glycerin fruit bomb, even at 7yrs of age. Aromatically, there is baked black cherry, toasted dates, currant, and channeling some savory dark cocoa. Even some potpourri to highlight the touch of age here. The fruit itself isn’t overly ripe. Extremely smooth on the palate with hardly any acidity or tannin. A touch of red & black licorice, ripe blackberries and black cherries with some charcoal. Tart finish. I don’t think this is getting any better, so drink up.
After a decant: tannins have beefed up. More chalky and the fruit itself is more tart. Not necessarily a drink now type wine, but I still believe it’s not getting better.
Day 2: more balanced and smooth. Drinking at its best.
