Some older ones

Ahh, older ones.

These are 2014. Safe as houses.

Yes have a mate with a couple of restaurants in Adelaide, who around 7-10 years ago, sent many bottles of HoG back to the winery.

Just a few midweek quaffers then

Oh, forgot, after the Rockford Golf day I visited cellar door and got-
3 x 2006 SVS Flaxman and
3 x 2006 SVS Hoffman
3 x 2014 Rifle Range
All lovely at the tasting

Btw, Ian Tickle and his partner in crime Phil Towle won the scratch score at the golf, with (I think) a 67. Smart scoring!

Congrats Ian and Phil

I'm well aware of Henschke Brett issues in 98 as I returned stock too but is there and inference current release Lakes Folly and HofG affected? Sorry for my poor comprehension.

Don't be sorry, a previous poster certainly alluded to the fact about these wines! I am still wondering on what basis also...

Thanks Jamie. Scored 3 bottles of Black Shiraz each for our troubles. Janine was happy!

Current note on Cellar Tracker for the 14 Lakes Folly:-

can't fake the funk on the nasty - whatever this is. Consensus is folly. Dry, herbal, chook poop, animale, blackberry, sticky tannin. Everyone's preferred of the flight.

You tried the Roagna CP? Incredibly intensity without loss of finesse. Do they go for a good price on the secondary market?

Have not tried one yet.

I'm not sure what they normally go for here, I think this is the first time I've seen them come up for sale.
$460 + 15%.

No, that's very good. It's all too easy to buy wine, so well done on you for not doing so.

Ozzie, I have never seen a member quote himself three times in his post and add a fourth comment. Sheer genius.

Some Portuguese wines just arrived, so into CT with them tonight. The 1st wine is a white, the rest reds:

1 x 2014 Buçaco Branco Reservado

One more order on the way, but not expected before the end of the month, so I'll be *resurrecting the 2017 buying plans thread soon, to see how I'm doing.

Is my memory correct that 'woolla' used to be the chief resurrector of old threads here?

Your memory is correct. Woolla was a regular contributor on another now defunct wine forum. Don't thing he is around presently, but who knows- he may contribute under another alias.
