Just buying this wine makes me look like a bozo. Mollydooker make big, fruit forward wines that are designed to be drunk young. I bought this, a 2006 Blue Eyed Boy, and a 2003 Marquis Philips #9 Shiraz to compare- crazy at the outset...
Big plum notes on the nose, warm unctuous fruit that covers all of my mouth. I have 215 tasting notes on cellartracker. This is the first to use the word mouthfeel. It's great. Soft tannins, long finish, but the unspoken strength of Mollydooker wines is the acidity - this is what makes them last. Very enjoyable cabernet that doesnt taste especially cabernet.

Color: purple with slightest tinge of red Nose: eucalyptus, minor petroleum off notes Palate: cedar, candied cherries, molasses Mouthfeel: smooth, satin with dry finish
Drank much better at opening than even just an hour open.

HUGE Cab Sav .... a monstrous 16% but drinking beautifully for those who fancy a strong, explosive fruit-bomb!
