NobleRottersSydney - Southern Highlands Trip May06 (Eschalot, Bowral): Perhaps surprisingly, the 1987 was by far the best of the wines [92 & 89]. The developed nose of toast, honey and crème bruleé includes an interesting earthy note. The seriously dry palate comes as a bit of a surprise after such a sweetly tinged nose, but the acidity is just hanging in there, holding oxidation at bay enough to keep this wine walking a tightrope. The finish does fall away a bit, but this wine is of more than just academic interest. Drink up quickly, though, it’s clearly on the slide.

Deep gold developed colour. Toast and quite rich honey nose.
Classic aged hunter semillon flavours, just a hint of oxidative characters.
