Was this the Cab or Shiraz?
Oliver says the drinking window for the Cab is 2024 - 2034

Ivowed no more wine, but I've bought more of the 2001 Trimbach Cuvee Frederic Emile - both the standard and the 375 Anniversaire.

It was the Cab Graham. I got it from your shop too. I snuck in the other day. I don't think you noticed me. I think your attention was directed towards the bundy promo girl.

3 x Howard Park Cabernet Merlot 1994
There are two wines I cannot imagine *not* buying as they still come through at reasonable rates. This is one, Penfolds 389 1996 the other.
Perfect is a numpty term but they are among the best wines in the 1990s imo, and importantly, hitting drinking window now, not in 15 years.
My dream tasting for this period might be -
- HP 1994
- Cullen 1995
- Stonyridge Larose 1994
- please add ... top 1996s?

Rockford. John Riddoch. The Penfolds wines. Mosswood. Monghead is the man to talk to about 1996. Check his thread.

So, are you critical of what my attention was focused on?
Got some of the 08 Filsell on Friday. It sold out on Saturday.

Re: July 2010-What have you been buying
Not at all. She looked like she needed lots more attention than me.
Would have like to make the 08 Filsell tasting. I had the offspring on Friday and Saturday. If I brought them a long I would have been paying for more than a few bottles of 08 Filsell. Their little hands like to touch all the expensive stuff.
