Monday, February 9, 2015 - NobleRottersSydney - top 86 Bdx (mostly) with Grange (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {cork, 12.5%} (Gordon) Mid garnet. There’s a slight naphthalene, moth-ball hint on the nose, despite the decant it’s had; seems a bit dull and muted after the 89 Lafite; the palate has somewhat fading red fruits, a bit anonymous. For all that the fruit has largely departed, the rest of the structure is pretty tidy, with soft dusty tannins, and medium acidity still hold up. The overall impression is of a wine a bit blocky and hard-edged, with a medium-length finish. It doesn’t have a lot of charm, and amongst tonight’s shining stars it was probably the dud, but on its own it would be fine, even if not a truly memorable experience. Ready to drink.
