This wine is way not ready. Very rebellious. The nose is nice, a bit of leather and mushroom, yet the taste is sharp red fruit, oak, too vibrant, even after a couple hours of bottle breathing. Chambolle wines should be calmer. I have a full case of it and I won't open another bottle at least in a year time, not that I think it will be ready, but I think once it's ready this wine would be really something.

I always like Mollydooker. Their wines have some kind of finesse that can't be found in any other Aussie wines. This bottle has been aged well, with right amount of oak, blackcurrant and truffle. A little bit on the sweet side.
