October 6, 2008 - NobleRottersSydney - Twenty Years On...(1988) (Alio's, Surry Hills): [cork, 13%] No indication of region anywhere, although the old Leonay winery in the Barossa is pictured on the label and encouragingly, winemaker John Vickery’s signature is there as well. Barossa is the obvious bet, but who knows? Distinct amber, but still clear and almost-healthy looking. A very aged – but not collapsing – nose of old wooden furniture! No apparent fruit remains. The palate is curious; most of what remains seems to be soft old oak flavours, oxidised but not harsh. There’s little acid left, so the wine has fallen away to be light-bodied and rather short on the finish, but it’s far from undrinkable. Certainly too old, but rather than turning feral it’s just become spectral and ghostly. Better than you’d expect, that’s for sure.
