A dozen Wynns 2022 Shiraz. Will pop one shortly to gauge the vintage but likely to be the last hurrah.

2015 Ch. Deyrem-Valentin (x2 halves)
2013 Cuilleron St. Joseph Les Pierres Seches (x2)

6x 2014 Leo Buring Leopold Riesling (have a few 6x of more recent Leopold, so thought I’d get some of the slightly more aged variety to check it out while the others cellar)
2x 1999 Seppelts St Peter’s Shiraz

Cheers Ed

Ed, thanks for the reminder, think I have some 99 Leopold's and a Leo Buring Tasmanian Riesling, six packs must dig them out!!.

Well done on the 99 St Peters, its a seriously beautiful wine. I had one abut 18 months ago, it is absolutely humming, don't think it will get any better, but will plateau for a good few years yet. I rate it higher than the 98 and 02.

6 2020 Basket Press
6 Black Shiraz
A couple of 2018 VPs
A mixed dozen of 2021 Eperosa Shiraz (3 Krondorf, 9 mixed of various Magnolia blocks, 1898/1965/1990).
Consensus was Rockford range was solid with Rifle Range the best wine.
However 2021 reds at Eperosa were streets ahead of any of the Rockford wines.
