  NobleRottersSydney - Christmas Lunch 2014 (Greg's place): {cork, 14%} Developing, meaty tarry wine ; someone said it was rather aglianico-like in flavour ; I’d agree with that. Quite ripe and even a touch stewed; still with fresh medium acid, medium gritty tannins; it’s weighted towards the front and mid-palates, finishes dry and medium length. Good wine, if perhaps just a touch anonymous; the grape is apparently unique to the vineyard so who knows if it’s a good example. Should see ten years though; this was a pleasant and obscure surprise.

  Dark ruby. Very expressive nose with pronounced cherry and blackberry jam, cinnamon, clove, violets, dark chocolate and earthy scents. Medium-bodied with velvety tannins, jammy fruit and balancing acidity. Long aftertaste. Compared to the La Tour Melas from the same vintage alongside which it was tasted, this was more intense aromatically with less oakiness and sweeter fruit but lacked in freshness of fruit and food friendlyness. Concerning their evolution, the La Tour Melas seems much younger with a long way ahead, while the Sigalas Mavrotragano seems to have hit its stride.

  Ruby with crimson highlights and brick shades. Rich, layered nose; core of black fruit mixed with dark chocolate, cinnamon and a leather undercurrent. Full and well poised with fine grained tannins and a vivacious mouth feel despite porty flavours along with ripe, plummy fruit and some leather. Warm, long and persistent finish.

  Hafif opak morumsu derin yakut. Başlangıç yoğun medikal notlar hakim iken,zamanla açılarak ahududu,kiraz gibi olgun kırmızı meyveler ,kuru yaban mersini,vanilya,katran mint çıkıyor.Altta deri ,meyankökü de mevcut.Orta üstü gövdeli, yumuşak ve tatlımsı.Damakta tanenler son derece güçlü,bunu dengeleyen meyve konsantrasyonu var ve asidi yeterli.Baharat,olgun siyah meyve ve tütün izleri bırakıyor.Damakla aynı paraleldeki tannik bitiminde alkol kendini hissettiriyor.
