NobleRottersSydney - Christmas Lunch 2016 (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {cork, 14%} Blend of Limnio, Mavroudi and Mavrotragano. Aged nose, with dust and old leather and lots of spice. Dense and savoury on the palate, with low-level powdery tannins and soft acid supporting the rustic red flavours amid minimal oak influence. It’s only really light/medium-bodied now, gentle and savoury, and needs drinking soon. I get the sense this might have been something of a blockbuster in its youth.

{cork, 14%} Immaculate cork, I must say. Nose is intense, and developing, with aromas of spice, earth, hints of bretty complexity, not much oak, weeds and tobacco. The palate has a bit of a hollow core, but as a decade old blend of Limnio, Mavroudi and Mavrotragano (what?), this is very acceptable. It's dry and savoury, and seems to straddle a stylistic divide between old and new worlds. The flavours follow the nose a bit; it's quite advanced but I concede the blackberry-tinged flavours the back-label claims, even if they're much aged at this point. It's probably on the downslide in that the acid is now quite soft, and the tannins are a barely-present dusty smudge, but it's held together OK, with medium weight and a short medium finish. Drink up now, though.

Douglas Lamb Wines Trade Tasting (Art House Hotel, Pitt Street, Sydney): Farmyards, leather, spiced red berry fruit. Tobacco and cedar
Bitter red spiced fruit - clove and nutmeg in here as well for me. White pepper, medium acid and slight green nettle. Long finish. Interesting.

2005 Domaine Gerovassiliou Avaton (Griekenland, Macedonië, Epanomi) Kleur: Diep robijnrood Aroma / bouquet: Half gesloten. Kruidig, gedroogd fruit (pruimen, dadels). Verder tonen van teer en leer, sigarenkistjeshout. Moeilijk te relateren aan mij bekende druivenrassen (gemaakt van Limnio, Mavroudi en Mavrotragano). Smaak / Afdronk: Subtiel zoetige aanzet, die al snel wordt gedomineerd door zachte zuren en ronde tannines. Zeer gemakkelijk drinkbaar, gemiddelde concentratie en lengte. Algemeen / potentieel: Een mindere jaargang van deze wijn?? 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Smaak / Afdronk: 12 + Algemeen / potentieel: 6 = 84/100
