  NobleRottersSydney - a fine finale (Fix, St James, Sydney): {cork, 19%} [Gordon] Double-decanted four hours earlier off significant sediment. Smells like an antique shop, with old timber rafters, carpet, camphor, treacly sweetness. The palate is a fair stab at proper vintage port (even if the label said it’s made from cabernet sauvignon!), with fumey flavours, old barrels, caramel and dust. I suppose it’s medium-dry for sweetness but the finish is dryly refreshing. Long, lingering finish that avoids too much heat. Pretty damn good for 40+ years.

  This blend of 95% Shiraz and 5% Durif was really delicious. Still deep purple. Nose includes smoke, espresso, stewed prunes. Good acidity and balance. Not overly cloying or sweet. Refreshing and bright, medium texture. Nice with desert but perhaps even better suited to being drunk on its own or with nuts and cheese.
