  NobleRottersSydney - Spanish Acquisition (Alio's, Surry Hills): [14.5%, cork, A$75] Here’s an authentic, older-style spanish red. Developing aromas of tobacco and leather, not without some mulberry fruit but also some blood, compost and bitumen. Palate is similarly rich in flavour, with intense meaty flavours and blueberry fruits. Solidly medium-bodied, with medium chalky tannins, an even palate and a medium length finish. Has plenty of heft without being a bruiser or bomb-style of wine. From old vines, and aged in larger 600l casks. At the same price as the Rodriguex M2 there’s no contest; this has far greater depth and interest. Clearly the pick of the nights’ reds using the value-for-money criteria.
