2010 Molly Dooker Velvet Glove $182 (2010 Vintage North American Molly Dooker Release)


The one thing I learned about this wine is that you don't want to spill it on your white shirt when at a tasting and the second thing is to not wear a white shirt at a tasting.

While the color is more on the lines of purple with some black marker in it the nose was concentrated with rich red/black fruit and some dark herbs with just a hint of tar. Yup I said it...tar. On the palate it was more of the concentrated dark fruit with some serious tannins. Pretty heavy mouth-feel and makes you want to scrape your tongue after you are done. Damn thing wraps your mouth in rich fruit or what they say...like a Velvet Glove...

Not sure how the so-called loss of wine from the dock will effect the current price of the wine.
