NobleRottersSydney - Barossa Old Vine (Fix, St James, Sydney): {screwcap, 13.5%} [Greg] Greg’s chipped in another wine off the list at Fix to fill the gap between the, er, other last table wine and the port. Vines planted in the 80s. 750 cases made but no bottle number. How modest! Seemed very youthful after the previous wines. Primary, jubey sweet fruit, more raspberries and jam, but fresher, lighter. Not a caricature. Spice and red fruit on the palate, becoming dusty and savoury; polished and classy. Even palate, medium weight, dusty tannins, medium acid. The only red clearly in need of more cellaring. Medium length finish that avoids heat. Nice.
