Mollydooker Wines
Two Left Feet Shiraz Blend
McLaren Vale, Fleurieu, South Australia, Australia
On the nose; dark nearly tarry currants, ripe blackberries, mix of blue fruits, black plum, plum, black raspberries, black olive, spice, lavender, dark chocolate, mocha, hints of vanilla, anise, pepper, rich dark soil and dry crushed rocks. The fruits on the first sip are very sweet but mellow as it opens up. The body is medium. It’s also very rich and well extracted! The tannins still have some teeth. The fruits are darker than nose. Ripe blackberries, blueberries, creamy black raspberries, black plum, plum, dark cherries, raspberries haunt the background, lots of dark chocolate, mocha, clove, nutmeg, vanilla and heat intensify spice that lifts off the palate as it sets, burnt tobacco, black olive, crushed rocks, cracked pepper, underbrush, chewy leather, lavender, good round acidity with a long, beautiful, well balanced, strong structured, lengthy, elegant finish. This 05 has another 5-7 years of life in it. A steal for $20 upon release. For me, it’s noticeable flaw...it’s still hot (not throat burning but none the less hot) and showing the 15.5% even after 10 years in the bottle. I would not wanted to have had this wine in its youth. 😖

"Love is Blind" tasting. Same producer, same year, same result.

Just cracked it open, good, but just in time.

Excellent blend of Shiraz, Merlot, and Cabernet with characteristic Molly Dooker terroir; a little tannic, but nice vanilla, nutmeg, hint of cinnamon, and powerful fruit from front to finish. The nose is mildly alcoholic with balanced hints of fruit. Maureen says, "oh my god, it's so good!"
