Sorry Craig, how many times have you said "last hurrah"?

2x 1999 Seppelts St Peter’s Shiraz

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.
