I'm drinking the sixth 10 year old bottle of Two Left Feet that I have had in the last two months. (3x2008,2x2006,1x2007). They were all stored in sub-optimal conditions, upright in a store at a room temperature. Over a similar period I had another half dozen Australian reds from 1998 through 2005 that were under cork, more than half of which were flawed/stale/flat.
This one has stewed plums on the nose, sweet black fruit on the palate with plenty of acidity, a long finish, with a little heat at the end. It was enjoyable with pizza, well priced at $29. But was it better than a current or recently released vintage? I just don't know - it was different, and I know that the next time I drink a Mollydooker red I will enjoy drinking a recent one.

Last bottle of seven, at first taste this was like an explosion of harshness on the palate, after a glass or so my palate adapted to the intense, extracted, ripe tart fruit. That being said, from my privious tasting notes I have concluded like so many wines made in this style they are better in their youth.

Still has a lot of fruit. A bit of tar. Overall, very drinkable. Paired well with a tapenanade sauce. Long finish.
