2 x Yalumba Galway Pipe Tawny Port. From auction. Made before label was sold by Yalumba to a big name winery (Wolf Blass I think) that trashed it using name for cheap crap ports. These old Yalumba bottles are a bit hit and miss but well worth the misses. Good bottles can be great. Still have one with volume measurements in pints and fluid ounces. Probably from 1970s. Previous old bottlings have been lovely. Who says tawny ports don't age.

Picked this up from the last MW Auction.

Cheers Con.

I had my eye on that too Con, looks the goods.

Thanks mate, missed out on a Campbells Tokay with a similar description.

Cheers Con.

There is a Lindeman's 1940 Madeira floating around one of the auction houses. Think a bid of $200 still saw it passed in. Wonder if it's worth a punt or could be completely stuffed.

Hi Craig.

I opened one of these maybe 10 years ago and it was stuffed so I haven’t looked at another one since. Not worth a punt for the price from my experience with it anyway.

Cheers Con.

Thanks Con, I believe these old Madeira wines just loose freshness, are stale and or badly oxidised.
Yes the bid was around $240 and counting.
Probably a safer bet with an older Tawny, VP or a Muscat.

12 2022 Leconfield Cabernet Sauvignon, cracking wine this and equally, a cracking price too.
Will look at another in 2030

Cheers Craig

I got three magnums of Cappellano Barolo Rupestris 2020.

A mixed six pack of Albino Rocca 2021 single vineyard Barbarescos.

Bought in HKG like the old days! So significantly cheaper than local pricing.

Annual Noon order, a mix six of Shiraz and Cabernet.
Cheers Craig

2x 21 selbach oster riesling kabinett

Found a new bottles in a restaurant and bought them out. I overpaid but I don’t care as this was the wine that got me started !

First time posting gents, looking for people that share my hyper fixation.

Bought a case of the 2023 Howard Park Scotsdale Cabernet. Drinking well now but from experience the Howard Park reds do age really well.

Nice one and welcome. I’m a bit of a wine novice but there is some pretty knowledgeable people who post here.

14 x 2021 Hesketh G.A.R. (Great Australian Red) Coonawarra Cabernet McLaren Vale Shiraz

A very cheap (almost smoking) sixer of 2015 Katnook Prodigy...happy days!!
Cheers Craig

Utopos Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Blend 2021 - 3x75cl... these popped up for £97.50/3 pack with free delivery, seemed an interesting deal vs the slightly crazy price in aus and recommended by a website I trust (Vinorium).

Anyone have any familiarity with this label?
