This incredible effort from Mollydooker follows up the fantastic 2011 release. It is slightly less open at the moment but has a better mineral backbone than its 2011 namesake. This has a lovely nose of red cherry, pomegranate and prune. Nice viscosity with a dense mouthfeel. Leading to flavors of red cherry preserves, raspberry, cherry cola and blackberry. Fantastic range of fruit flavors in here. Great depth and richness from this esteemed vintage. Amazing that over 4700 cases were made of this great wine. Considering the vibrant minerality, I would sit on it for another year to allow the wine to fully amalgamate. (Best 2016-2025) - August, 2015 (OB)
