NobleRottersSydney - 20th Anniversary - 'Wow!' wines (Alio's, Surry Hills): [cork, 12.5%} The 1987 presents a similar, if less intense, aromatic profile [to the '92], but with an intriguing bronzed note overlaying the nose. This is quite a big wine, with a yeasty/leesy note to the stone fruit palate, with more of that honeyed quality, verging on caramel, layering the palate. Lots of mid-palate richness is helped by still-fresh acid; and overall the additional developed aged characters made this the favourite of the three whites [92, 87, 84 vintages] around the table.
