November 3, 2021 - NobleRottersSydney - Barossa Old Vine (Fix, St James, Sydney): {cork 15.5%} [Geoffrey] There are 4950 bottles of this, made the old-fashioned way, but at new-fangled levels of ripeness. Slightly developing nose, but it’s of baked black fruit, raisins and plums against a fumey, semi-volatile backdrop. Full-bodied, with roasted blackberry fruit (some notorious dead-grape character) and dominated by alcohol, which relegates the low/medium dusty tannins and too-low acidity to bit-players. This gives the palate a patchy quality and a too-short finish (esp at the price, which is ~$80) Back label says cellar for ten years – the usual outer limit for this style of wine, of which we had a few tonight. Pick the fruit earlier, you blokes.
