August 7, 2006 - NobleRottersSydney - 1986 revisited (Guillaume at Bennelong): {12.8%, cork} ‘Cellaring recommended.’ Not something you read on too many bottles of Australian chardonnay these days. Now a deep gold with a fading rim, the aromas here are of sweetly rotting leaves, caramelized figs and honey; plenty of secondary interest, in other words. The palate is showing signs of greater age; bone dry, with quite low acidity, the flavours are of aged tropical fruits, toasty honey and some soft subtle oaky cedar. There’s not much apparent oxidation, but the wine is just starting to dry out now, evidenced by a short finish, despite the medium-weight palate. A bottle drunk last year was fresher; there’s nothing to be gained by holding this longer.
