Did you score those Gnadenfrei on Langtons ? There were some on there I had picked but never bid on...probably lucky

[thomashouseman]

Just had 6 Petaluma Coonawarra 2003's turn up at the door.

What should I expect from this wine? Drink soon or cellar for another 10+ years?

Never tried it before, bought it on a whim.

Thanks,

T.

[AndrewCowley]

Assuming it's been treated well then it's probably wound up tight with many years ahead of it. You've got 6 so you may as well try one now and see. I have some 2004 of the same vintage that I'm not impressed with but I think they are heat effected (stupid purchase by me).

Yep, just got the one, and it seems that the 03 may have been a better bet, will try it this weekend and see what's what.

[Matt]

A few noble one's at a local. 2004, 2005.

Also a pricing mistake:

Anyone know when Rockford release is due?
Oh my Virgin Wines case of easy drinking rubbish arrived the other day. I do like the Bentwing wine from that so far. Anyone else tried Virgin Wines?

Anyone know when Rockford release is due?

Rockford's Newsletter comes out in early October if memory serves correctly.

My purchases so far
Mountadam HighEden Chardonnay 2009 Just love this.
Mixture of Fourrier 2009 Burgundies Likewise, just love these!

[BlaCkAdDa]

Split into two, those I've got from the auctions:

2008 Henry Holmes Shiraz x12 Just turned up on Grays, the 05 and 06 have both been good to me so I thought I'd give it a go.
2008 Henry Holmes Cab Sav x12 accidentally bidded on when I meant to bid on shiraz, damn using iphone to bid whilst on holidays!
Pirramimma Liquer Port 12YO x6 thought I might be able to top the 10l barrell up with this at around $12 a bottle seems ok.

Then there's what I bought and drunk (see sunday 11/9 drinking thread)
