2006 Mollydooker Cabernet Sauvignon Gigglepot - Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, Langhorne Creek (9/25/2009)
Dinner at Gulfstream. I should say at the outset that I am a fan of Mollydooker, but tonight
this wine was kind of a disappointment compared to the first time I tried it. When I first tasted it back in 2007, it was rich and complex. But two years later, it just seemed simple and monolithic. While not unpleasant by any means, all I got tonight was just some basic blackberry fruit and wet soil. Neither overwrought nor flabby, neither hot nor disjointed, this wine nonetheless presented itself as dim and shallow and ultimately quite pedestrian. (86 pts.)
