You probably paid less for your 6 than I did for 3.

A few auction purchases tonight.

Tried to snag some Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna, I missed out

Still managed to get a few Burgs, although I missed out on a few. The bidding was quite fierce on some lots.

1 x 2003 Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Vigne de L'Enfant Jesus
1 x 2005 Domaine Arlaud Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Les Ruchots
1 x 2005 J. Confuron-Cotetidot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots
1 x 2005 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes Vieille Vigne
1 x 2005 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combes aux Moines Vieille Vigne
1 x 2006 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combes aux Moines Vieille Vigne

And some Barolo too for a bargain price:

3 x 2012 Marcarini Barolo Brunate
3 x 2012 Marcarini Barolo La Serra

After entering my purchases into CellarTracker, I noticed that I'd passed a milestone and fulfilled one of my New Years Wine Resolutions for 2017. I've now got more Pinot than Shiraz.

[Ian S]

Marcarini and good value at the best of times - proper cellaring Barolo. A label I'd also recommend in warmer vintages where other wines may end up fat and overcooked, but Marcarini comfortably avoid it.

[Con J]

2006 Aldo Conterno Granbussia.
2000 Roagna Crichet Paje Barbaresco.
2001 Roagna Crichet Paje Barbaresco.

hang on to those 05's Ozzie, they won't be near ready for at least another 5-7 years.

Ozzie I've been surprised by Barolo 2013. There's greed in the U.K. Market driving up prices and some of the Aussie offers are impressive considering

[Ian S]

Hi Jamie
Exchange rates not helping the prices. I'm in the lucky position that I've got some decent stock so don't need to chase this or the next vintage of the century! Will probably grab the odd bottle at retail somewhere along the line.

Price on wine-searcher for the Elio Grassoi almost half what I paid for them.

Any experiences with Trimbach Clos Ste Hune's? Particularly the VT 1989
Just bought a birth year (1989) for my wife
I believe they didn't make the regular but only made the VT that year.

CT indicates it's going pretty strong still, but would love to hear any other experiences?

Dang.

And some Barolo too for a bargain price:

3 x 2012 Marcarini Barolo Brunate
3 x 2012 Marcarini Barolo La Serra

When you get them for Langhe Nebbiolo prices, its hard to argue

[JamieBahrain]

What's the goss with 2012 Marcarini? Seen a number of amazing offers early .

I've had the 'regular' 1990 CSH recently and it's in great nick. 89 was also a pretty good year, so should be good if well stored

[Ozzie W]

Still available at retail for pretty much double the prices paid at the auction last night. Good reviews on CellarTracker. Was a no brainer to buy some.

[JamieBahrain]

Indeed! Solid performer.

[phillisc]

A dozen 2016 Tim Gramp Watervale Riesling...almost fell off the back of a truck
Cheers

2 X 2013 Olivers Taranga HJ Reserve Shiraz

1 X 2014 Rockford RR Cab

[conformistpete]

3x Jamsheed garden gully Syrah 2015
3x Jamsheed beechworth syrah 15

[tarija]

What's the goss with 2012 Marcarini? Seen a number of amazing offers early .

Got smashed by the pros - something like 87 from both Galloni and Kerin o keefe for Marcarini Brunate 2012. And no reviews in Australia by Walsh (don't know whether he tasted and then declined to review, or didn't receive).

[JamieBahrain]

Thanks. Suspected as much . Maybe they know what they're are talking about but I don't think there is a more underscored scored region in time. Barring obvious faults it's a big call . That said , solid producer with occasional excellent wines .

[Hacker]

6 x Woodlands 'Russell' Cab Sav en primeur. I suppose this is really a June 2018 purchase

[crusty2]

6 x 2015 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir

[Hunter]

Amazing. I really liked the paolo scavino range aswell. All nebs..
The 14' clape cornas was pretty special.
