Community Tasting Note

Monday, July 6, 2015 - NobleRottersSydney - Cellar Treasures (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {cork, 13.5%} (Graeme) Double-decanted about two hours prior. Scary nose of bacterial, volatile aromas; with a fungal, mushroom note. Very worrying, like a toxic old-world syrah, and smelling way older than 14 years. The palate was much better; intense and savoury, with leathery, cherry-tinged aging fruit. Has a touch of biltong about it. It’s dry, earthy and savoury, medium-bodied, with an even, low-key profile. Medium dusty tannins and medium acid carry the show; it has a medium length finish. The nose is such a let-down that I don’t know what to make of it really; presumably it would have stood a longer decant, and hence cellar time. Hard to call, and although I’m certainly disappointed in this showing, there might be a modicum of hope that things will change with time.
