2010 Mollydooker The Scooter (Merlot)
‘Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 The Scooter Merlot gives pronounced notes of warm plums, blackberry preserves, coconut and baking spices plus a whiff of toasty cedar.

Drinking beautifully now, it should cellar to 2016+.’ – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, www.erobertparker.com

2010 Mollydooker Velvet Glove (Shiraz)
'Coming from row selection within a single vineyard, the 2010 Velvet Glove was matured in American oak, 97% new. Very deep garnet-black, it offers very pure, pronounced notes of ripe cassis and blackberries with underlying nuances of cedar, anise, hung meat, black tea and violets. Full bodied, very ripe and with layers of generous fruit, the opulence is well supported with a medium to high level of fine-grained tannins and crisp acid. It finishes very long. It should be at its best 2014 to 2024+. Unfortunately because of an accident at the warehouse during which about 1/3 of the production was destroyed, there are only 1012 cases’. – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, www.erobertparker.com
