  May 6, 2013 - NobleRottersSydney - Best Wines to share (Verde, East Sydney): [13.3%, cork] {Graeme} Level was at bottom of neck. Double-decanted 3 hours prior to drinking. At 25 years, just hanging on. Quite a dark garnet still. Still a red fruit character to the nose, but its mostly developed malt-like and woody-cinnamon aromas. The palate has memories of sweet plums, soft and faded, with a touch of drying-out astringency appearing on the medium-length finish. It’s only just medium-bodied, with a smooth, even palate, with not much remaining of the original tannins. Short-medium length finish. Would have been far better ten years ago, and certainly needs drinking now.
