Mollydooker Maitre D Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (75cl, 15%)

Mollydooker Maitre D Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a full-bodied Australian red wine from McLaren Vale, South Australia, made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Mollydooker Wines is family-owned and operated, and a defining production detail is the trademarked Mollydooker Shake: wines are bottled under nitrogen gas to minimise sulfite use and preserve freshness, and consumers are encouraged to vigorously shake the sealed bottle before opening. The nose opens with concentrated dark fruits, blackberry and ripe cherry, layered with tobacco leaf and milk chocolate, with roasted espresso bean and subtle herbaceous undertones. The palate is juicy with dark cherry and plum, building into roasted dates, menthol and milk-chocolate-covered black fruit, with licorice and cigar box. The finish is long, smooth and gently tannic, with mocha cream, espresso and lingering blackberry.
