Molly Dooker Two Left Feet
Last night we made a goulash with lots of spices and paprika so we decided on the 2007 Molly Dooker Two Left Feet. This is an Australian Shiraz mix with Cabernet and Merlot. The Molly Dooker wines are hard to come by and don't last in the stores long. This full bodied wine is almost black in color and has an aroma of smokey oak along with black cherry and blueberries. You will have to decant for several hours to get these aromas. The flavors are spicy blue and black fruits. As with many of the MD wines, the alcohol content is 16%. This is a hard wine to pair with foods unless it is a bold, spicy dish that can hold its own ground. I would cellar this for about 5 more years and then try it. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rated this 93 points and the Wine Spectator rated it 88 points. I would have to agree with the Wine Spectator.
