I spotted that
Two Tonne review and am going to buy. A 96 from Wine Front at $42 is too good to pass up. It even has a crazy drinking window for a PN, making a 6 pack an easy option.
Speaking of Wine Front, I immediately jumped with an online cellar door purchase of a town, winery, winemaker and wine I'd never heard of before. It's not a Pinot, but you'd never guess what is was blind (it was about as close to a Pinot Noir I've come across for an Aussie red that wasn't a PN):

With a gushing review and 95 points and Mike Beenie saying the winemaker is one of his top 5 next generation Australian winemakers who will truly create a lasting legacy for Australian fine wine. I was sold at that comment. It's also only $38 a bottle plus $10 delivery (it arrived the next day via Aus Post).
Even though it was super young, and I wasn't trying it under my usual conditions, you could tell it had serious class and great potential written all over it.
It's a huge recommendation from me to all my fellow Pinot Noir lovers who follow this thread.
