NobleRottersSydney - 1990 night (Lucio's, Paddington): 12.2% A private label wine apparently made for a few years by John Wade between leaving Wynns and setting up Howard Park. Pure red, beginning to take on a brick-like tint. The opposite expression of cabernet to the Dorrien, and the nearest thing to a Bordeaux all night. Tight blackcurrant aromatics, with herbaceous notes (but not in any way green or unripe), all overlaid with some graphite-cedary tones. There’s lively acid on the palate; the tannins are very soft and nicely integrated. This wine is all-of-a-piece, with the focused integrity that comes only from quality fruit. Medium weight, perhaps only a slightly short finish detracts slightly from what is otherwise a class act of a wine.

看了这篇近乎完美的酒评说不出话来,90年今天喝有点过了巅峰期,刚开瓶一鼻子三级香气,随着醒酒后奇迹般的浓缩黑醋栗香气浮现,伴随着桶带来的轻微烟灰气息(感激涕零这篇酒评的“graphite-cedary”让我终于找到了对标的描述),随陈年单宁/酸度/酒精度都有些衰退但还能支撑起骨架
