The Auswine Forum

First cab off the rank:
6 x 2019 Lamella (phew -already sold out)
4 x 2019 The Standish
2 x The Schubert Theorum
12 x 2018 Woodlands Cab Merlot
6 x 2018 Allouran

A mixed dozen of the Standish new releases...a substantial purchase for me but, had to laugh getting an email this week from Henschke (don't even subscribe) Mt Ed/HoR/HoG '16s at $225/415/895 ea. Dan's wines are a positive bargain compared to these

Cheers Craig

I missed out on Lamella (again) but grabbed a 6 pack of the Standish

Just 1 bottle each of The Standish, The Relic and The Schubert Theorem for me (also too slow for the Lamella)

3 x Lamella
3 x Standish

Think I responded within about 5 minutes of the email though!

4 x 2018 Cannalichio Rosso
6 x 2016 Lisini Brunello
6 x 2016 Il Poggione Brunello
2 x 2018 Il Poggione Rosso

3 x 2019 Standish Schubert's Theorem

A first for me with this label, but the tasting at CD three weeks ago was absolutely excellent

Missed out on the Lamella as well....so
2 x Standish
2 x Relic
2 x Schubert Therom

6 x 2019 Tomfoolery Black and Blue Shiraz

And the good news was my Sami Odi order turned up yesterday.

Cheers

Babich Sauvignon Blanc Black Label 2020 x3 @ CAD 14

I'm desperately trying not to buy anymore red wines that need cellaring, however an occasional wine at a good price draws my attention and one such wine was Yangarra's Old Vine Grenache. It was an online offer and it is either the 2017 or 2018 - I won't know till I pick it up from the store - C$28

3-Domaine St Damien Les Souteyrades Gigondas 2016
4-Domaine St Damien Les Souteyrades Gigondas 2017

After missing out on the Lamella again, I plumped for two each of 'the Standish' and Eperosa 1896 Magnolia shiraz. Both from 2018.

1 Bottle Ribera Del Duero Condado de Haza 1995

The Condado de Haza is quite the find, it must be close to being one of the earliest vintages. I have a bottle of the 1999 so I am keen to hear about how it fares when you get around to opening it.

Everyday Drinking purchases

3 x 2018 La Campagna Chianti Superiore (Sangiovese)
3 x 2018 Tenuta Scersce Nettare (Valtellina Nebbiolo)

Another excellent online deal... Terra Vita Vinum - Anjou - Rogeries - Blanc - 2018 - 6 x

I am a fan of Loire Valley Chenin and an online review describes this as "full bodied and broad like a Mersault but without any oak" ... which has me intrigued.

I had the Tinto Pesquera 1995 (which is of course made by the same overall company) about 4 years ago and it was pretty good so I took the punt this label might be as well.

I have just had a look at their website to make sure I have the different labels straight in my mind and I am greatly saddened to see they have recently updated all of their labels to a new "modern" look ... a real shame since I loved the retro feel of their old labels which had hardly changed in over 20 years.

2019 Burgundy offer arrived in the Netherlands. Rousseau continues to climb - Le Chambertin is now going to be €850 a bottle, which means the auction prices will no doubt increase to €2000 plus.

I have decided to pass this year (and probably won’t be going back), but a friend, who has been collecting the wine for 15 years, has convinced me to put an order in, which he will pay for. Not sure if really counts as a purchase, but hey it’s in my name.

2 * 19 Rousseau Clos de Beze
2 * 19 Rousseau Le Chambertin
2 * 19 Rousseau Clos St Jaques
2 * 19 Grivot Richbourg
2 * 19 Grivot Exchezeaux
2 * 19 De Vougue Les Amoureuses

I expect this will be cur down to 1 of each, but you never know.

Interestingly my friend has now given up on his allocation of Le Grand Rue and the amount of Loire Cab Franc he is buying us increasing a lot.

I used to get an allocation of Lamarche but I never saw much justification. I have a few LGRs before they got expensive. I think 09 and 10.
