I've read about the Mollydooker wines but this is my first time trying one I've bought. Immediate nose of cocoa and espresso and dark chocolate with some wet forest floor and cooked blueberries. The palate is more along the lines of verifying the nose but is super hot in your throat, even when paired with food. Just saw some sediment in my glass as I finished it, which always brings down the score for me. Worthwhile if found for a good price, but not for searching out.
