had a botle of this maybe 2 years ago - no real notes taken but i do recall that it was a tannic bugger with the fruit all but gone - having said that - the conditions the bottle may have been in could have been fair to middling at best.

Old man picked up some of this (not sure where from) i have no idea about it - anyone able to help ?

Thanks Graeme - when i knock the top off these two i'll try and post a note

anyone tried this in the near or distant past?? got given a couple of half bottles and no idea what it might be like.

hmmmm i'm guessing 1460

just wondering about pricing and whats the current vintages for the new mailer?

cheers

I do recall when I first became interested in wine in the very late 80's. At that time I found myself mainly drinking cab sav's described as (and on the whole) tasting, herbaceous. i never found myself enamoured with the OTT capsicum/green type characters... but a degree of herbaceousness sat fine w...

Sticks 2004 Chardonnay - lots of citrussy character fresh and zingy with just a touch of oak - went well with veal saltomboca for dinner. Feathertop 2002 Shiraz Viognier - not bad - little sweet, but pleasant enough Rufus Stone 2003 McLaren Vale Shiraz - tasty, good tannin finish... relatively savo...

sounds like it would be a good idea - haven't been there since about '95 i think.... long overdue

thanks for the info Wizz

Anyone able to fill me in on what's currently available throught the cellar door or mail-order??? Prices and bottle limits would be greatly appreciated too. Also, are the single vineyard shiraz ever available throught rhe cellar door or mailing list, and what might they set you back? Thanks one and ...

Hi Torb Tasted the line-up (minus the riesling) on Saturday. I assume you would like impressions of the reds only yes??? FWIW I liked the new Summertown chardy, as a fuller bodied, toasty wine. Ready to go. The Piccadily seems more austere at this point (lots of citrusy freshness and even a hint of ...

anyone have any impressions/opinions on this one ???

1993 Rockford BP Shiraz - opened and decanted a good while before dinner - great nose, sweet, rich - dissapointed tho - was dried out and really hollow palate-wise - was one of four bottles i purchased on my first trip to the barossa in '96 i think it was... perhaps the other two that are left might...

have been using it a good while now - agree with the comments - after a rebuild today from gremlins acquired while using IE... its gotta be better

cheers JB

Browsing the current melbourne auction and looking at some bottles from birth-years. None of the books I have, or things i've looked up shed light on the aforementioned. Any advice or hints would be greatly appreciated. And the line-up is : 1968 Roxton Estate Private Label Bin B26 McLaren Vale Shira...

Took a bottle of this out and opened at the local chinese - later in the banquet with some beef and lamb goodies - wasn't overly impressed at first - then it became nigh on impossible to judge as one dish had a ridiculous amount of dried chillies thru it. Had another look 2 days later - very nice - ...

2002 Graveyard - medium to dark in colour with a touch of purple. On the nose, earthy hunter, sweetness (think nice soft berries and even some choc/mocha). The palate isn't too sweet - with some vanillan oak, more of the mocha character follwing from the nose, ripe dark berry flavours and finishing ...

2002 graveyard is out - also check out their wade block 2, mistress block, and rayner vineyard (all shiraz) if u can.

A few things this week - Last night with a chinese banquet, mainly whites tho, so beware 2003 punt road riesling - very germanic - can drink a lot of this 2003 tamar ridge sav blanc - not too bad - little on the tinned asparagus side for my taste yarra ridge chardy - cant remember the vintage - was ...

Punt Road in the yarra valley also use riedel - but was told these are glass and not crystal

At least you get value for money. Plenty of material required to hold all that chubby oxygen bandit in place.

Any tasting notes, impressions or whatnot ? Got some for my birthday - haven't tried any since about the 1994....

Ahhhh.... Don't want to add to aggravation or sound pedantic but if we are picking at each other then spelling is most important right ?

So, it's actually spelled "Anonymity".
