Delicious wine slightly aged petroleum characters with honey toasty flavours integrated with lemon and lime. Wine still so youthful for 11 yrs old but I guess that’s stelvin caps for you. If you have some left give it some more time as the wine won’t disappoint you

NobleRottersSydney - even year reds (Fix, St James, Sydney): {screwcap, 11%} [Gordon] Still a pale yellow/green colour. Typical big Eden nose of lime, citrus, bathpowder. The palate is medium weight, but way too low in acidity, giving it a flabby presence, despite the evenness of the simple yellow fruits across the tongue. Gives a thick, lemon custard sort of flavour impression despite being dry, but finishes very much on the short side. I doubt this is a dumb phase at ten years; I think it wasn’t structured to develop in the first place and should have been drunk early.

Very much in the kero mould, with nice weight and relative softness on the finish. Ready now. Very enjoyable if you like the style.

Developing nicely good nose and solid palate although a little closed or shallow in flavour

Developed well lots of integrated flavours on the palate nose was quite reserved. Interesting enjoyable wine but not a game changer
