  March 3, 2014 - NobleRottersSydney - Shiraz 10 years+ (Verde, East Sydney): {cork, 14.5%} (Geoffrey) Smoke and oak, spices and black pepper. And has enough vanilla in it to be accused of impersonating a Rioja. There’s plenty of sweet caramel oak on the palate, still some medium chalky tannins, and a memory of berry/shiraz fruit. Medium-bodied but has plenty of presence on the mid-palate; finishes medium length. Lacks great complexity, but it’s a very pleasant effort for all that.

  April 8, 2013 - NobleRottersSydney - 2003 reds (Pazzo, Surry Hills): [cork, 14.5%] {Geoffrey} Decanted just prior to service. Big, aged nose of black liquorice. The palate is nicely medium-weighted, with a touch of prune & compost to the flavours. It’s dry, ripe and a little dusty with quite low chalky tannins and medium acidity. Earthy too; falls somewhere between Antipodean new-world expressions of the grape, and the Rhone’s traditional presentation. Nicely even palate too, just lacks the ultimate word in complexity. Still, very good, even if it doesn’t quite meet the theme.
