2009 Mollydooker Enchanted Path RP--93

Robert Parker: 93 Points
Wine Advocate # 192 Dec 2010 Lisa Perrotti-Brown 93 Drink: 2010 - 2019 $75-$100 (90) A blend of 66% Shiraz and 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2009 Enchanted Path was matured in 97% American and 3% French oak, 85% new and 15% one year. Very deep garnet-purple, it has a great intensity of cassis, blackberry, violet and eucalypt aromas with a whiff of coffee. Crisp in the full-bodied mouth, it has medium-firm very finely grained tannins, finishing long. The tight-knit palate suggests it should have more to give in 18-24 months, drinking to 2019 . Following a challenging 2008 vintage when no Velvet Glove, Gigglepot, Blue Eyed Boy, Enchanted Path or Carnival of Love wines were made, Sparky Marquis and his inimitable Mollydooker line-up is back to firing on all cylinders in 2009.
