Community Tasting Note

Monday, August 7, 2006 - NobleRottersSydney - 1986 revisited (Guillaume at Bennelong): {12.5%, cork} More Bordeaux. There’s not much primary fruit on the nose here at all, rather a collection of varnishy, cedary, lead-pencil/graphite notes which suggest this wine is coming to the end of its maturity. The dry palate comprises medium acidity and chalky tannin, a mid-weight feel, a balance that leans generally towards the front palate, and a medium length finish which concludes very dryly and somewhat astringently. Quite classic in style though, and lifts considerably with food, although never really very exciting.
