  NobleRottersSydney - odd year reds (Fix, St James, Sydney): {cork, 13%} [Graeme] I had low hopes despite a good level, but this turned out pretty well. Double-decanted three hours earlier, which helped it open out a bit. Softly earthy, dust, and old leather aromas. Aged mulberry flavours, with an iodine quality, a blackness, and a twist of spice. Red olive seeds, says Glenn. Are they a thing? Some leather here too. Low/medium dusty tannins, medium acidity. About medium weight, with even presence along the tongue, medium long finish, lacking the last word in complexity but otherwise pretty impressive. Drink up though.

  Decanted 45 mins. Nose shows garrigue, brambles and violets. Palate is medium intense with good brambles and lavender. Slightly lacking in depth but well balanced. Drink soon.

  Ved første sniff er det mørke bær som umiddelbart dukker opp. Bjørnebær og sorte, modne kirsebær i tillegg til integrerte fattoner, animalske toner og krydder. En fyldig vin med godt balansert friskhet og modne lett tørrende tanniner. På smak hadde vinen overraskende frisk frukt. Igjen var det bjørnebær og sorte moreller sammen med de animalske tonene med pepper- og kryddertoner. Godt integrert fatbruk og meget god lengde. Dette er en vin som klart ville tålt flere år til i kjelleren, men det smakte utmerket nå.

  Little funky on opening, but blew off in 15 minutes. Dark berries, mineral+acid : balanced; medium bodied and elegant ... not a fruit bomb. Fantastic evolution from when it was young and not nearly as interesting. Still has some fruit, but this is at peak maturity now. Kept a leftover glass in the bottle for the next day and it was not nearly as good. Glad I just drank my last bottle. I didn't expect too much from this bottle and was pleasantly surprised.
