Enjoy. I will think of you while I enjoy a quiet glass of familiar wine in the Middle East.

I agree about beer with Thai.
Have cracked a Bishop Shiraz at home to go with the steak.

Thanks for the great company for pre-dinner drinks.

A fabulous event organised by romney. Thank you for organising.
I was one of a lucky few and got to enjoy a decent glass of Rockford 2011 Basket Press.
Given I accidently tipped a glass of wine on Mrs unnamed , I'm surprised I was allowed any BP.

How is it drinking? Is the 2011 a BP to drink young?

Drinking very good.... Remember the 2011 vintages in the Barossa were challenging times, I cracked this one as a "tester" before putting the half dozen I have down for a few years.

The 2011 we had on Saturday night didn't disappoint, was actually very good I thought...!

I had one a few months ago. Whilst I think it is drinking okay now, it will definitely reward another couple of years patience.

As unamed says, it may not last 30 years, but patience will reward short to medium term cellaring.
