With still some wines on the radar it has been a pricey month and we're only one week in...

I doubt you will regret this purchase (unless you don't wait 10+ years to drink them)

Coincidentally, I just received an online offer of the 2018 Il Poggione 'Brancato' Rose. I don't think I've ever had Brunello producer's rose. My curiosity has been piqued and I think a two bottle purchase is warranted.

Marius order confirmed by the arrival of the wine ... so 6x Symphony and 6x Simpatico 2019.

Hi Sam, if you ever get back to Adelaide, a Marius vertical should be arranged.

That would be great... actually having not been able to get to my cellar for so long, I have been wondering what I can do to get through as much wine as possible when I finally get back and therefore what kind of themes I could do.

I was thinking about verticals (Grosset Gaia, Basket Press, Marius, Wendouree ... so many options)... or maybe a South Australian red theme 2010 vs 2012 (vintages I went probably too long on) ... fingers crossed people might be able to enter Australia some time in 2022!

Blue Poles reserve Cab Franc 2019 (x9) and reserve Merlot 2019 (x3).

Keen to know how those curios have fared - especially the Drumborg!

Yes a fantastic cabernet, remember buying a sixer of the 96 on release, like it was yesterday...at about half the price of 96 John Riddoch.
At least they still make the Riesling

Access to Europeans from London ain't so bad. Still need to hide the CC bill from the Mrs. Divorce is more expensive than wine!

After agreeable experiences with the Semillon and the Vincent Grenache

6 * 2021 Cirillo Ancestor Vine 1850 Rosato

I know Granache is a harder sell than Cab, Shiraz or Pinot, but the idea of making a Rose from some of the oldest Grenache vines in the world is mid boggling. I like darker Roses and hopefully this will fit the bill.

Grenache and Rose are two 'hot' categories in retail land right now. A Grenache rose should be good for cash flow , the remaining juice and skins will go back into a dry table red.

Michael, a very relevant point! Anyway, I m sure you’ve got a fair idea! At the bargain price offered, definitely a mid week quaffer.
But seriously, it is an issue that I am considering more and more. I’ve reinvigorated my interest in Bordeaux over the last couple of years, but do I go for current releases or pick off some older bottles in the secondary market? The latter seems to be prevailing. Do I keep buying dozens of new Australian releases when I prefer drinking wine with a bit of age? It’s gotta stop, or at least start to wind down sooner or later. There’s plenty of stock in the cellar to enjoy!
Dare say, a question that all of us have to face at some stage. Anyway, a trip to Coonawarra in three weeks for Cabernet Celebrations probably won’t help. Last weekend’s trip to the Barossa didn’t help either
Cheers, Malcolm
