A very good wine, and if cellared well, no rush to consume.

4x 2010 Domaine Leflaive Batard Montrachet
3x 2011 Giaconda Chardonnay

Wow. Mong, those 2010 Leflaives are bucket list wines.
Are you planning on checking in on their youth or gambling on them seeing maturity unscathed?

Ha ha, why do you think I've bought 4? One will certainly be sacrificed!

Hi All
For some time I have been trying to locate some Vasse Felix 2005 Shiraz to no avail. It may be a longshot however, If anyone can point me in the direction of some I would be very grateful.

PM is fine as Im not wanting to cross promote any retailers.

Cheers

Constantly envious that despite your immoderate purchases of French wines, SA Shiraz remains dominant in your cellar...
Nice purchasing.

Thanks Monghead. At the end of the day, Barossa shiraz from 86, 91, 90 and 96 (in that order) will always be my first true love..... Sadly though, the supply of the 86s are dwindling, and I didn't buy as many 96's as I'd like as their release coincided with a property purchase. As such, I'll live vicariously through your consumption of 96s !

Mixed 6 pack of chairman's selection of late 90's and early '00's Shiraz & '04 1927 Vines Marsanne @ Tahbilk's winery picked up yesterday's trek to the tropics.

I think you might be pushing things a bit with the 97 H. I drank a lot of these wines, the last of the 96 about 2 years ago, and it was at the end. The 97 H cab was good.

I tried the 2013 this week and it was superb. I suspect I will try and track down some of the 2012 to add to the cellar based on the performance of the 2103 this week

I picked up 6 of each first time around. The Malescot in particular was getting great reviews.

4 x Emrich-Schonleber Halenberg Riesling Spatlese 09,
12 x Maximin Grunhaus Herrenberg Spatlese 2007,
12 x Schloss Lieser Niederberg Helden Spatlese 2007,
8 x Zilliken Rausch Riesling Grosses Gewaches 09,
12 x Zilliken Rausch Riesling Spatlese 07,
12 x Zilliken Rausch Riesling Spatlese #6 09,
24 x Penfolds Bin 389 2010 (I figure the sale of one case will pay for the other case in 5-7 years time based on the 98 prices at present)
24 x Grosset Springvale riesling 2012 (ditto and if I am wrong well heck I will just have to drink them all.)

Bought from auction recently I too thought they may be a bit tired Brucer but took a gamble as they were from a cellar of known providence. First one was OK but 2nd was really singing. 3rd will be a lottery as are all older wines under cork. At $14 it was worth the chance. Haselgrove also put out an H Reserve shiraz in the 90's which were stunners. Picked up a double magnum of the '96 a loooong time ago and it was magic.
