Monday, April 8, 2013 - NobleRottersSydney - 2003 reds (Pazzo, Surry Hills): [cork, 13%] {Graeme} Double-decanted 3 hours prior. It’s an aging Bordeaux nose, but it does veer a little on the baked side, even through the smoky, cigar-box aromas. There’s a nod to currant fruit on the palate, with medium dusty tannins, and medium body. Acid is fairly soft, and although it coats the tongue evenly, there’s a warmth denseness of texture you mightn’t expect and which just costs it a little for freshness. It was a scorching vintage; this doesn’t taste too hot, but I don’t think it’s got anywhere further to go and should be drunk (enjoyed) over the next few years.
