Drunk from a Methuselah. Remarkably this was delightful. Whilel showing some signs of age there was still plenty of fruit and it was smooth and silky. A wonderful drink.

NobleRottersSydney - Sth Aust Shiraz 1996 &1998 (Alio's, Surry Hills): [14%, cork] {Kim} Not the top-line Aberfeldy, but the modest entry level effort. And showing it. Marginal and aaged nose of fungal, mushroomy, almost feral notes. A touch of compost. Not bretty, but rather dank all the same. The palate tastes rather brown; old meaty flavours, rather gravy-like, without a great deal of complexity. The tannins are pretty much gone as well, which doesn’t help matters. Rather short, one-dimensional finish. Overall, a rather surprising disappointment, somehow I was expecting more from this.
