  NobleRottersSydney - Champers & Reds (Guillaume at Bennelong): {13%, cork} A blend of Cab Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cab Franc, and I’m going to assume this was the result of an experiment done where not one leaf was removed from the canopy during the entire growing season. One of the most polarizing reds I have ever inhaled, this smells like an asparagus highway into an olive city. Green leaves, man. On the palate there’s eucalypt as well – it tastes like a koala’s cocktail. Gosh. Dry, surprisingly moderate tannins which build a little, yet never really lift it even to moderate weight. Oddly, the fruit doesn’t actually taste unripe, just umpteen shades of green. Bizarre. Coonawarra’s answer to M*A*S*H. Something of a hole in the midpalate precedes a short finish. Drink now, drink later – it doesn’t matter. Don’t think this wine will ever change much.
