The 2005 Two left feet is blend put together by Sarah Marquis. It boasts an inky purple color, superb intensity, a big, sweet, full bodied nose of crème de cassis, graphite, white choclate, black olives, blackberry liqueur, anmd spice, and a spectacular, voluptuous, even unctuous texture. This is a big, powerful, classic southern Sustrlian red made with no compromises. Drink it over the next 3 years, though I suspect it will last a decade or longer. 94 Points.

Mollydooker 2006 Two Left Feet
(12 months ago)A strong bouquet of delicious cherry, leather, spice and plum. The full body swirls nicely around your mouth while not too thick. Lots of fruit dominates this wine and sweetness helps balance against an immense spicy bite. The tannins were soft and sumptuous in the first bottle, but upon reviewing a second, the wine plead to be left for some time. I will check back in a few months expecting the luxurious experience of the 2005.

(11 months ago)I'm going to agree with Vaynerchuk on this one; definitely one dimentional, but it is a GREAT dimention. I could see myself pounding a bunch of this deeeelicious juice. Very tasty!!!!!

(11 months ago)This blend is full and friendly, with less power than "The Boxer" but more layers of flavor. It's fruit-forward but not sweet or jammy -- pleasantly tannic, with a surprisingly smooth finish for so much alcohol.

(10 months ago)Very fruity...black fruit explosion, currents, blueberries, blackberries. The nose smells thick and deep (if that means anything to you). Slightly leathery but the fruit compensates. Nice structure balanced tannins, but a tad hot, the alcohol barely stands up to the fruit and leave a bit of a bitter aftertaste in your mouth. The wine is luscious and velvety but overall, suffers from a bit too much EtOH for me.

(9 months ago)One word: delicious. The nose is a great combo of sweet cherry/raspberry and leather. Nice tannins - not too strong. A bit of spice on the finish. Silky sweet and hot, but the fruit more than handles the high alcohol content. Probably not a very good food wine, but absolutely tremendous solo drinking.

(9 months ago)I have to say, I'm not sure what all the hype is about. It is certainly big, fruit-forward, and spicy. There is not an ounce of subtlety in this wine, but it somehow manages to display balance. The high alcohol content (16%) is really not noticeable. I've tasted many better shiraz-focused wines at this price. Perhaps as other reviewers have noted, this wine may benefit from a year in the cellar.

(9 months ago)This is one of the best wines I've ever had. I love the super fruit bomb style. This wine packs so much flavor it's absolutely mouthwatering but not overly tannic. The best flaovr description I can give is that it tastes like opening a whole pack of starburst candies and eating them all at once. I did notice the 16 percent lcohol content a bit but it wasn't overpowering.

(9 months ago)Sweet smell on the nose. When I first opened the bottle to decantor, I thought that the wine had a bread smell to it (like sweet yeast rolls). Also blackberries and pepper. The flavor was quite different that what I expected after such a sweet nose. It had rich tannins that made my tongue tingle (or was that the alcohol?) and I could definately tell that there was more alcohol than usual. It wasn't imbalanced, but there was a somewhat "hot" sensation on my throat. The flavor was slightly woody, dark fruits, maybe some pencil shavings, and maybe I'm crazy but I could taste a kind of buttered popcorn flavor as well (weird since this is a red). This was a VERY big wine that seemed thick, but it was smooth and enjoyable. I was a little underwhelmed after all of the Mollydooker hype, but I'd like to try some of the other types.

(6 months ago)First, I tried it without the "Mollydooker Shake" and it was very thick (syrupy) and luscious. Tastes of dark chocolate and mint rolled off of my palette. Second, after the "Mollydooker shake" it was a little more smooth and drinkable. It's still got a huge thickness to it, but there is a tameness about it now. Plus, it has these cool bubbles that form after you shake it in the bottle! That was fun. I think it is a great experience, but I've tasted better.... but it is well worth the price!

(3 months ago)One dimensional does sum it up pretty well. Although that dimension isn't as amazing as I was hoping. This is one step up (and a big price increase) from Yellow Tail, IMO.

(3 months ago)A wonderful Shiraz blend, and will probably start costing a lot more than it does currently. Delicious, inky purple, structurally sound, peppery wine, just like I like it.
