  NobleRottersSydney - 1986 revisited (Guillaume at Bennelong): {12.5%, cork} The 'Museum Release' label. The odd wine out in a cabernet-dominated evening, this has clearly the lightest garnet shade of all the red wines tonight. The aromas are clean, though earthy, with a tarry leatheryness which grows ever sweeter as the wine sits in the glass. After ninety minutes it became quite candy-fruited, in fact. Dry, with low-medium acid and tannin, all the components combine to form a well-integrated wine with a rich, mellow mouthfeel, medium length finish, and a beguiling little dance between fruitiness and astringency at the back of the palate. Quite multi-dimensional, and although ready to drink is showing no signs of falling over. A surprise from perhaps an overlooked Hunter vintage, this really is a terrific wine.
