even if my review is not as incredible as what I wrote in August last year - the wine is 2pts better - was 93 now 95 and with a real wow. Awesome concentration and integration causing me some hallucination.
A darker more brooding effort than I remembered. The enchanted path is full of witches and arguably a few warlocks. There's dark spells at play. Mind control and seduction amongst them.
Well integrated now but also smoky like a 007 aftershave.

P: Med, poss MF, body; ALMOST swtish frt (I would have SWORN approaching threshold R.S., though the winery's stats belie that) with some heat, mid palate acidity ATTEMPTING to balance; Long, very slightly tangy/bitter finish. I don't even know WHAT to predict for this as I'm categorically NOT "feelin' it" -- particularly @ this vendor's $67.95, which even then is almost 25% LESS than the only other U.S. vendor currently listed on wine-searcher! 93 pts WS

Beautiful bottle for my girl's birthday party (served to the adults of course!). The super high alc is classic Molly. The palate offers rich Christmas cake with a climax of slightly incongruent burnt talc.

Full throttle classic Mollydooker style Shiraz blend. Drinking well. Palate coating and a long balanced finish.
