NobleRottersSydney - <>A$40 blind (Fix, St James, Sydney): {screwcap, 14.5%} [DavidH] Blind note. Developing nose. Big, jammy, fruit-sweet with blackberries and yummy oak richness. Very sweet fruit on the palate, with a purple/violet character to add to the blackberry and chocolate. Lowish acidity, medium powdery tannins, medium/full weight. Medium length finish. I don’t remember any of the Options questions but it’s a pretty obvious character. Think the current vintage is still sub-$40.

Blackberry, blueberry, vanilla and pepper on the nose. Palate was similar with slight hint of smokiness that became dark chocolate. Incredible balance. Medium finish.

This wine has demonstrated my consistent belief that Elderton Estate wines mature beautifully with careful cellaring. A fantastic example of aged Barossa shiraz.

It’s a big wine. Not usually my thing but I enjoyed it. Dark dark fruit, vanilla/oak almost thick like but I liked it. The best on day three and probably could have taken it further.

This gets better with every bottle I open. It has matured into a beautiful shiraz.
