Amazed at the development of this wine. Last time I tried one of these (2018) the acid was so prominent that, even after being open for 24 hours, l tipped most of it down the sink.
It’s now a pretty reasonable drop and my dinner companions were certainly appreciative of it last night.

NobleRottersSydney - <>A$40 blind (Fix, St James, Sydney): {screwcap, 14%} [Greg] Blind note. Richly developed red. Stewed sort of blackberry flavour, although for some reason I thought it might be cabernet. Ripe and seductive medium/full-bodied palate. Medium powdery tannins, medium/high acidity. Still with plenty more development to come. Evenly balanced palate, medium/long finish. Normally around A$50 on release these days. Most impressive Rosehill I can recall for years. Not quite classic Hunter in style perhaps, but very good anyway.

Dense dark purple. Aroma of blackberry, pepper, light varnish. Stewed plum, cherry, milk chocolate, shrubs. Medium body, fine tannin. Requires a few hours decanting to smooth out. Green acidity,

Finally coming into balance. Still vibrant but the acidity isn’t prominent now.
Very good wine.
14%, screwcap.

More savoury than a 2007 Cndp tasted alongside.
