2009 Molly Dooker Scooter Merlot

95 points ‘Opaque black crimson colour with deep black crimson hue showing good glass cling. The nose displays very good lift with aromas of ripe blackcurrant, dark plum and dark chocolate followed by some spicy end notes. The palate delivers incredible weight, richness and concentration for a Merlot. Opulently textured with flavours of super ripe blackcurrant, liquorice and black cherry followed dark chocolate and spice. Long aftertaste of black cherry, ripe blackcurrant and spice.’ – , Nicks Wine Merchants, www.nicks.com.au

 

92 points‘…dense fruit characteristics with integrated tannins and a long finish. This would be a perfect partner with roast leg of lamb and mint jelly. The flavor profile includes hints of black olives, licorice, spice and plum. It has a shiraz-like mouthfeel but with a unique finish that draws me in for another sip.’ – Brian Pasch, www.weloveshiraz.com
