I’m on a mission, tasting as many of the Mollydooker line as possible. I snagged this one at my local shop for $22 and proceeded to pop-n-pour. Inky black in the glass- I knew I was in for a treat. This is a super concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon that needs a good aerating, cellaring or severe pouring through a Vinturi. It screams black fruit and offers up some blue fruits as well on the initial attack. The nose is currently closed for business, perhaps a dumb phase. There is a certain minerality to this wine that I love and some serious pencil lead and blackberry on the mid palate. The tannins are ferocious right now and left me with a massive case of dry mouth for about 20 minutes. The balance of acidity and fruit is going to be great when this whole package comes together. This is a serious Aussie Cabernet Sauvignon that needs some time to sort itself out. I reckon this one will hit a few home runs and provide amazing pleasure in 3-5 years. I drank it over two days and noticed a marked softening by day 2. I am going with 91 points and 5 stars for this wine and will be buying more for the cellar. Salut….
