The Auswine Forum

Well after the winery playing ducks and drakes about a potential museum release at some stage...probably 2-3 times the current price i manged to get hold of a half dozen of

Seppelts 2012 Drumborg riesling.
Thanks so much to the punters in the March purchases thread who put me on to cellartracker...I have not previously used this, but probably got the last few left in Oz
Intresting re the "2012 hype"...buckets of both 2011 and 2013 Drumborg available??? but no 2012!

Oh some 2012 Wilson Polish Hill 2012 rieslings as well to make up a dozen.


Cheers Craig.

6 x 2007 Pierre Peters Les Chetillons. I actually wanted to skip this vintage, but given the likely demand for the 2008 next year, buying previous vintages may stand me in good stead to get some.

Bests Great Western Bin 0 2012
6x Bests Great Western Bin 1 2012
Bests Great Western Riesling 2011
Fletcher Pyrenees Nebbiolo 2010

Another tahbilk premium mystery dozen. Will be my 3rd doz and I just love them.

Got some Blue Poles on order - will be very interested in trying the 2010 Allouran (seems to be getting pretty good reviews).

Gomersal 2010 Reserve Shiraz, and cracked one last night. Delicious, but not over the top, but great interest and intensity. Thinking of getting some more.

Glad you enjoyed it. I really rate their Shiraz and it's reasonably priced.

Auction purchase.... Jean-Marc Pillot Les Vergers 1er cru Clos Saint Marc, Chassagne-Montrachet 2010. You reading this Michael R? Delicious!

They may all be shot, but recent auction purchases.

Wynns red stripe, a few bottles of the 90, 91 and 98 vintages.
For less than a dollar a year, worth the punt.

Cheers

(from cellar door)

Got what I believed to be close to the last of the 2010 BP vintage.
Interesting to chat with the chap pouring the Shiraz (picked tuesday just gone and intended for the 2014 basket press shiraz) into open fermenters. He said the basket presses were ready and waiting to do their thing in the coming days.

The smell coming off the skins/open vats was pretty funky indeed. What it's all about

Was this the 2011?

I just bought 6 of the Piero Benevelli Langhe Nebbiolo 2011

Then coz i love Riesling, 6 * 2013 Moores Hill Riesling.... IMO some of the best going around at the moment.

Slightly OT

I see the Moores Hill Property is for sale. This makes me very sad as Julian is a wonderful winemaker and all round top bloke.

I hope whoever buys it will keep him on as wine maker, as the quality coming out of that place is simply stunning.
