August 7, 2006 - NobleRottersSydney - 1986 revisited (Guillaume at Bennelong): {13.8%, cork} John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave? Well, no, actually – there’s life in the old dog yet. Medium garnet, with a only little fading at the rim, this has mid-intensity classic aged blackcurrant/cassis aromas, well-developed but not at all feral. A dry, low-acid palate follows the nose, the chalky tannins are still prominent, but still don’t really lift the weight beyond a light-medium level. It’s a very pleasant aged style overall, let down only by the length of finish, which is disappointingly short after such a lovely nose. Drink up, though, the cemetery gates will be coming into view shortly… (reloading these notes, I'm not certain this wine was made under the 'Brown Brothers' label, but there's no producer John Brown other than in connection with BB...)
