Relaxing on a family Tasmanian holiday treating my wife & I to a stunning bottle of 2008 Elio Grasso Barolo Riserva Rüncot.

Words can't describe my numbness hearing of the sudden loss of Shane Warne. Love him or loathe him, he was a larrikin yet charismatic. He got into trouble, but us 'normal ' Assies all did growing up. He called it how it was, no bullshit. Like most Australians of my generation, I was glued to the TV every time he played cricket. In my eyes he is one of the great sporting legends and personalities of my era. I was one of the millions that loved him, although at times wanted to hate him.
The shock of this just one day after another Aussie legend Rod Marsh left us is something you just couldn't script.
RIP Warnie, the world is a lesser place without you mate 💔

The 2013 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is another huge

The 2013 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is another huge, tannic wine. Crystalline and so precise, the 2013 is deceptive, as the aromatics are quite inviting, until masses of tannin hit the palate. Tar, rose petal, spice and cedar open with a bit of time in the glass, showing just enough to make the wine pleasurable today. Even so, the best is clearly yet to come. Patience will be rewarded.”

This 2003 Lafite-Rothschild on the other hand is a very professionally done COUNTERFEIT. Only an Authentiation expert could see the couple of flaws on this bottle. Note in image 3 (under microscope) that there is some very faint micro-writing in the image. This number however is not precise & legible enough under microscope to be authentic. One needs to know exactly where to look for these producer Anti-frauds!

An example of a COUNTERFEIT 3L 1998 Le Pin. Even to the naked eye, a novice can see ink issues on the main label. Under microscope though, the truth rears its ugly head - a very poor computer pixeled label. This is as easy as it gets for an Authentiation Specialist.

Some 15 years ago I was the distributor for @eldridgeestate. @fesqco is now their distributor. Knowing intricately how good these wines are, I didn't hesitate to grab an allocation. It gives me great pleasure to reacquaint myself with these sublime Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. 👌🍷

Latest counterfeit bottle I recently authenticated

Latest counterfeit bottle I recently authenticated in Australia. Authentic 1999 DRC La Tache Magnums are worth around $18,000+. Sadly for this owner the bottle is worth Zero 😢. Please don’t be complacent, there are PLENTY of fakes in Australia! #RareWineFraud #WineAuthentication #BuyerBeware #FakeDRC #FakeLaTache

2013 Vietti Barolo Castiglione only 25 bottles of

2013 Vietti Barolo Castiglione only 25 bottles of this ripper wine available for sale, visit www.rarewine.com.au “The 2013 Barolo Castiglione is rich, powerful and intense, especially for what is the estate's entry-level Barolo. Dark cherry, plum, spice, new leather and menthol are all used together. Intense and voluptuous, the Castiglione shows the richer, more intense side of the vintage. Time in the glass helps release the aromatics and the brighter side of Nebbiolo. Quite simply, the 2013 is a super Barolo Castiglione that is starting to close the qualitative gap with the single vineyard Barolos.” 93+ Points Antonio Galloni, Vinous # #rarewine #rarewines #barolo #vietti

2009 Elvio Cogno Barolo Bricco Pernice Just crack

2009 Elvio Cogno Barolo Bricco Pernice

Just cracked this Barolo to compliment our mushroom risotto dinner tonight.
Such a seductive red fruit driven nose, and so approachable for a young Barolo already with moderate tannin at best. Class act! Won't be a long lived Barolo but at 7 years of age it's drinking beautifully now.
We have 5 bottles still available so visit www.rarewine.com.au before I happily drink them all!

2009 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Cannubi San Lorenzo *

2009 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Cannubi San Lorenzo **only 6 bottles available**
“The 2009 Barolo Cannubi San Lorenzo/Ravera emerges from the glass with sweet red berries, leather, licorice, menthol and sweet spices, all supported by fine, silky tannins. I very much like the sense of energy and vibrancy Rinaldi was able to achieve in 2009, no small feat. The Cannubi San Lorenzo/Ravera has excellent color, freshness, vibrancy, and above all else superb balance. It is easily one of the highlights of the year.” 95 points Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Monprivato 2010 (Magnum

Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Monprivato 2010 (Magnum) **only 2 available** “(this was a treat Mascarello pulled from cask at the end of my tasting): Medium red. Knockout nose showcases tangy red fruits, minerals and porcini. Conveys an impression of superb concentration and dusty extract, with the tactile solidity of the best young 2010s already coming through in spades. A wine of great length and potential. I'll play the interventionist wine writer and wonder out loud why this won't be bottled for another year. But as devil's advocate to my devil's advocate, 2010 is one vintage that generally has the extract and energy to benefit from an extended elevage.” 93-96 points, Stephen Tanzer Vinous

2009 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir My favourite Pinot Noir

2009 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir
My favourite Pinot Noir from New Zealand, and no it's not from Central Otago, rather it's from Martinborough. This wine regularly matches it with the best of Burgundy, yet at a smidgen of the price a Grand Cru Burgundy would cost you. Awesome wine! Be quick, only 6 bottles left
