Opening a Mollydooker I havent tried before is only matched by the nervous excitement of watching a newly discovered old Laura Gemser movie. Even if it's bad, it's still just soooo good! And so sexy.
Initial colour was more aged then expected and the nose is oddly like a very heady pinot. I'd swear blind that's what this was and if that isn't crazy enough then the palate confirms it. Is 5yo McLaren Shiraz / Cab (& merlot) blend a secret recepie for heady new world pinot?!? I certainly wouldn't have thought so. Damnnn.
Though it's 16% abv I don't think that's yet affecting me - but there's still time.
I haven't checked other ratings but I imagine mine's the highest. Yeah I'm thinking 91 but stay strong, 92. Judged through the eyes of a modern pinot. Surreal.

Really good. Nice blend of spice and fruit. Much better than previous bottle

Great, esp for the price point. Fruit bomb with earthiness.

Robe rubis. Nez très présent sur la confiture de petits fruits, vanille, anis et boisé. Vin rond trop sucré à bon gout avec une longue finale.

Where is the fruit? Disappointing. Bottle variation or OTH?
