  NobleRottersSydney - Cabernet & blends (Fix, St James, Sydney): {cork, 12.7%} [Graeme] A late entry to save me carrying it home. No decant; cork is a third wet but no leaking. Aged nose, a bit minty; a touch oak-driven too. A little anonymous perhaps. The palate has musty old coconut, eucalypt, although it does seem younger than thirty, to be fair. Medium acid still, but the tannins have softened right out to the point of absence. Light/medium weight at heaviest, medium length finish, but nicely even. A pleasant but not truly memorable wine, perfectly peasant. Not really worth thirty years’ cellaring though!

  Old musky cedar smell. Dried fruits lacking poise. Strong tannin structure. Good length. Fading beauty but interesting and enjoyable. I thought this may have been in better shape given reserve label. Only 12.7% - doesn’t rely up big alcohol for intensity.
