Other purchases this month:
3 x 2022 Mount Pleasant Mountain D Dry Red
3 x 2017 Mount Pleasant Maurice O’Shea Shiraz
2 x 2020 Masseria Li Veli Susumaniello

Need to save the pennies for Standish next month….

Standish time again already… where does the time go.

I bought some Standish last year for the first time, but the bottle is oversized and does not fit well with other wines in the fridges. Won’t be adding to my problems by buying more - it’s not as if there is a shortage of exciting Shiraz out there.

Yes the bottles are a pain (as are Sami Odi) for fridges and some racks, but the quality is so high that I’ll put up with the problem. The Lamella and Schubert Therom are, or are very close to, the best Shiraz in the country for my money (as is Sami Odi).

Any idea about the wine quality of the Standish 2022 release? Couldn't find any other review except Vinorium. Thanks.

Still moving the cellar from Hong Kong. I count these as new buys as I’ve not yet added them to cellar-tracker. Nice to have unlimited luggage on a freighter jet so I keep the pretty wooden coffins the magnums come in. I also found another box of wine I don’t know I had. Mascarello Monprivato from 1989

3 x Cappellano Pie Rupestris Barolo en Magnum 2015

3 x Cappellano Pie Rupestris Barolo en Magnum 2016

6 x Cappellano Pie Franco 2015.

That’s this month’s recovery.

Anyone jumping on Standish today?

Cheers Ed

I bought some Standish today. 1 x each bottle. Haven’t heard any reviews yet, but love their wine

Eventually bought 3 x Lamella 2022 and 3 x Schubert 2022 despite not much reviews found.

3 x Lamella, 1 each of the others.

Bindi will be the next purchase.

I grabbed 3 X Lamella and Schubert, with 1 X Standish and Relic.

Cheers Ed

Was that the $300 for six offer?

Not aware of that offer...I paid about $52 a bottle through another source.
