NobleRottersSydney - 1996 South Aust reds (Alio's, Surry Hills): [375ml, screwcap, 9.5%] {Glenn} This is a wine of gently-honeyed sweetness, light-medium-bodied, with decent acid, but hard to pin down. It’s bright and severe, even steely and bracing, but despite the sweetness seems to lack a core. It’s a kind of exoskeleton wine. Weird, or maybe it’s just me. Lacks a warm minerally note that gives sweeter rieslings their charm. Perhaps a little time will help.
