NobleRottersSydney - 2005 Oz reds (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {screwcap, 14%} [Stephen] Varietal Aussie cabernet in a bit of an old-school guise, which is to say it blends eucalypt and currants with plenty of vanilla-tinged oak. The palate offers fading rather than evolving black fruit flavours, with medium gritty tannins, medium weight, and a straightforward, just-medium length finish. A little underwhelming, perhaps, although can easily be held longer with crossed fingers.

Reddish orange in color with an enticing aroma of savory fruits. A rich, medium-bodied wine with concentrated flavors of dusty brambly fruits, sour berries and oak. A well-made Coonawarra Cab complete with its characteristic tartness. Definitely a food oriented wine.

Tight, small berries. Balanced between fruit forward and structure. Has a decent level of acidity and some fine tannins but certainly quite giving now.

Nice, rich cab sav, with black currant on the nose.
