  February 5, 2007 - NobleRottersSydney - Champers & Reds (Guillaume at Bennelong): {13%, cork} There are no mainstream wines tonight, apparently. Here’s a Rioja with a Strine accent. After 30 months (or was that 300?) in American oak, your vanilla milkshake is ready, sir. It’s lovely soft sweet coconutty oak, true, and it is possible that there’s some cabernet hidden in here somewhere. All soft and furry on the palate. There’s even a hint of porty flavours, but without any alcoholic heat. In all, not a bad wine, despite a rather reticent back palate. But you gotta like the style…
