NobleRottersSydney - Andrew's return (Bondi Icebergs): {screwcap, 14%} Lovely developing nose of meat, game and smoke. This has the goods! The palate is earthy, with compost aspects to the gamey, red fruit flavours. You have to think hard before calling this new world. It’s about medium-bodied, and the medium-length finish covers the tongue quite evenly. Tidy wine for the price; probably best before it’s ten years old, as its quite advanced even now.

This has jammy sweet fruit on the nose and is very floral. Clearly new world. On the palate, there's sweet red and black fruit. Quite tannic. Australian?

This is a very big pinot noir in every way! Its big and intense nose was delightful. The big bold flavors are wonderful. About the only bad "big thing" about this wine was the big alcohol (14% which tasted more like 15%) which was too big for a Pinot Noir, and that was rather annoying.
