Monday, October 14, 2019 - NobleRottersSydney - meant to be Grange (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): [Gordon] {cork, 12.9%} What a lovely nose; roses, violets, gentle strawberries, with malt and chocolate. The palate is the perfect balance of fruit and power, in multiple dimensions. Sweet twist of shiraz fruit, with gentle spicy vanilla oak, but not intrusive. Medium-full weight, with medium powdery tannins. Medium acid. Could easily be mistaken for something half its age. Even palate, and long, long finish. Really, good bottles of this are nowhere near falling over. Had a double decant two hours earlier. Every bit as good as the Bin 80A, but with a more robust, exotic character. Fabulous wine.
