Excellent my FP allocation of 6x 2011 LRA 904 GR came through. First allocation in I don’t know how long that was a total fill

Uncorked yesterday, finish it off tonight (yeah, I know @Omega Male, that's not how we do it, sorry for that. Kind of a bullshit move, had some weekend left over though)

Austin Hope’s Templeton Gap Syrah. I know next to nothing when it comes to wine, but I found it to be be solid. Smell was delightful.
