Pal of mine was kicked out of a cushy job by one of the major banks. After failing to get a similar position he took up a Threshers concession. He revamped an ailing concern and informed me that there was some stock that had not been rotated properly or was no longer available and that he was going to clear it the next w/e at a genuine 60% off. Did I want first crack he asked. As if...Just opened this one and while it's pleasant and different I reckon it needed a couple more yrs or so. It's completely new to me, anyone been near this?

Hope Estate is one of the newer trendy New South Wales estates. Michael Hope is a bit of an entrepreneur. That Semillon needs time to mature, don't know why it needs rotating, it's best left on its side for a while :wink: - what year was it ?

If you want to see good ole Mick Fleetwood's band, The Mac in the Marquee on the lawn in front of the Hope estate, while taking supper and Hope Est wine of course, here is the link. Other than that ?

Sorry, '05. It wasn't part of the previous encumbent's old stock, but had been discontinued. There were only two bottles in the shop. Did get it for £2.99 though.
