Rockfords discussion

Sorry, I don't mean highest JH rating.

I just meant overall generally speaking some vintages are known to be amazing, higher value vintages.

I only ask because a family friend who is a long time member has been buying BP for an extremely long time is swapping some wines with me and said I could have any vintage I want.

:) Appreciate any feedback

I'd probably take 2010 if possible.

Friday 29 July, 8 of us went off to Rockford and enjoyed yet another Stone Wall lunch.
Our group was @boomy, @Steady, @penegal, @Matt_01, @henleybeach, @Princess Fiona, @CaptJCool and myself.
Our day started with an 08:30 breakfast in preparation for a 10:30 departure to the Barossa. Lunch officially commenced at 12 noon and concluded just after 4:00.
Prior to our departure at 5:00 we had the opportunity to taste the currently available wines in the Stone Wall room.
Below is the lunch menu and photos of our lunch.

How's the 2012 Basket Press looking? I'd imagine still on the primary side.

I hate youse all :) . Sorry to have missed it - hope the newbies enjoyed the day. Did they open up the stonewaller cellar to non-SWers?

We all went to the Stone Wall room after lunch but I'm not sure what was made available to non SWers. I know BP was sold out and I'm pretty sure you had to be SW to buy Grenache.

As I'm getting older I think my taste buds are in decline. However, I thought it still young and has more development to come. It was quite smooth the tannins having softened. I'd like to hear what @henleybeach and @boomy have to say with their youthful palates.
 
Sorry for butting in but with the indulgence of the Club may I make an observation:

This sounds like a FF program where no status run exists to quickly climb the Tiers.....
 
I flew to Adelaide on Thursday to see clients on an urgent mission but couldn’t have stayed the night 🫤😤

My mouth was 🤤 when I saw the meal and wine pairings. One day,..
