90 Points

Wednesday, May 23, 2012 - Straw with hints of moss green. Nice, viscous appearance.

Salty seawater, complex flinty minerality, a number of floral aromas (not unlike potpourri), cashew, mineral oil, a little pineapple, novel white stone fruit, asian pear, and buttery, custard-like notes. The nose is not unlike some higher end California Chardonnays.

Nice citrusy undertones, more custard, salty seaweed, a little pineapple, and something exotic I can't put my finger on (someone else suggested goji berry, but I've never tasted it before). Slightly sweet with an initial pineapple and lemon flavor that is enhanced by beautiful acidity and a massive presence on the mid-palate. Incredibly creamy and full-bodied, nutty and creamy flavors dominate, like cashew butter, butter, and a hint of mineral oil, which flow into the finish and meet back up with a little pineapple.

The alcohol is pretty well integrated despite being 15.5% ABV, though there is a little burn on the tongue. Overall, a much better experience than the last Mollydooker that I had. I would certainly buy this again.
