Deep Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits, herbs and sweet floral spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with floral herbs, earthy oak and black pepper. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, toasty oak and herb pepper spice.

2006 held up decent I guess. Definitely better if opened a few years ago.
Too sweet for my tastes.

May be my favorite of all the Molly's on its range. Having it with some good ribeyes and it is blossoming by the second. Nose-coating rich cherry that just flows onto the palate with grace backed with oodles of horsepower. The mid-palate oozes stewed cherry, cassis, and that distinctive Mollydooker signature extraction. Yum. Ville.

Black raspberries, violets & lavender one the nose. Ripe, rich, tart, blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, black plum, plum, caramel, dark chocolate, warm mid intensity spices, tarry notes, black licorice and nice acidity. MollyDooker picks later for more intense wines. They do fairly big extractions but don't over do it.

Enjoyable stuff, targeting the BBQ-audience. There's no lasting impressions, but you cannot deny the fact that quality fruit was used when creating it. It's like the Pulp song "Common People"

Had with a ribeye at home and it was beautiful. Lots of red fruit on the nose, soft tannins love this wine.
