  June 2, 2003 - NobleRottersSydney - 1996 night (Lucio's, Paddington): I really can’t get past a hugely US-oaked nose on this wine. There is a hint of buried blackberry fruit, but really the palate’s all tannin. And yet it finishes rather short, despite the astringency. I tasted this exactly 5 years ago at the Hunter Valley CD, and the tannins appear to have receded not one jot. Not drinkable yet! May one day come together, but I wouldn’t like to put the house on it…
