  NobleRottersSydney - Champagne (Fix, St James, Sydney): {cork, 12%} [Gordon] A fascinating curio to begin. A broken cork was momentarily troubling, but not fatal. In the glass it’s turning tawny, with only some faint red left. The tiniest mousse on pouring. Ancient, leathery nose, but intact. A prickle of spritz on the palate still, with soft dusty tannins, medium weight and old flavours that hint at leathery red shiraz fruit but encompass mushroom, yeast and earth too. Medium/long finish. But the wine fades in the glass within 10 minutes or so. Fun to try. But certainly on the downslope at almost 70 years old!
