A new addition to the Mollydooker line up of the Marquis family.
Sampled yesterday. Unbelievable concentration! Absolutly opaque blue/black in the glass. Thick and viscous. Huge nose of black and blue fruit, vanilla and port like scents. Flavors follow nose with noticable heat. A better wine than the Boxer in that the flavors arn't cloying which I felt the Boxer displayed. Finish lasted almost 1 minute and here's the part that impressed me. This bottle had been opened 10 days ago and was half full when I sampled. 16.6% Alc/Vol [img]http://wines.com/ubb/eek.gif[/img] $50. Fun to sample but won't buy as too over the top.

That boys wasn't released... he done kicked down the door and escaped. Better flame-grill yourself a kangaroo steak to go with that one.
