Reviews 
Nick’s Wine Merchants
'Totally opaque saturated black crimson colour with very deep black crimson hue. The nose displays aromas of inky ripe blackberry, dark plum, liquorice allsorts and confectionary. Densely concentrated, super rich and packed with opulent fruit in classic Mollydooker style, the palate delivers an explosive flavour profile of super ripe blackberry, liquorice, dark chocolate, toasty oak and a spicy back palate. Very soft velvet like tannin structure with a voluptuous texture. Outstanding length with very long and persistent aftertaste of blackberry, liquorice, spice and toast.' – 96 points, Nicks Wine Merchants, www.nicks.com.au
