Château Bernadotte 2015 Ex Farr Vintners

Typically 2-3 months seems the norm at the moment. Given that you only pay for storage from when it appears on the website I’m good with that. I am pretty relaxed about this given that so far I’ve put in a few dozen cases and they’ve all arrived...
 
Mine just appeared in my Seckford list.

Interestingly a couple of IB orders recently came in after a month or so. For some reason processing DP orders seems to take longer - not sure why but again...as the storage costs clock only starts ticking when they add the wines to your account, I'm pretty relaxed about it.
 
I guess this demonstrates a pretty consistent 2 month timeline for transfers coming into one's L&W reserves at the moment then. Probably 20 odd cases in my backlog waiting to appear but I guess with it meaning storage costs are deferred, no biggie.
 
I have just realised that maybe I have got this round my neck. L&W store for you. So, there is not L&W for me (although I stored with then in the past) I store at LCB Vinotheque, same place that L&W store for others (they used to run the entire place before LCB) and that is where I received my wine from Farr Vintners, I apologise.
 
Mine have appeared as well in my L&W account. Re Dominic’s question, it is probably a wine to drink early otherwise the storage charges may mount up faster than it appreciates in value. We are funding this at above 10% pa. To me this argues for pulling them out and starting on them this year. It is afterall a very good and accessible vintage.
 
Agree with Ian that storage charges don’t make sense for this wine - but I pulled a bottle for this weekend just for a look in (amongst a few other similar candidates), and it is young. Edging on awkward in my opinion so as Alex said earlier in the thread, I quite agree these probably need a good five years to get rid of the teenage sinew. I won’t professionally store mine for obvious reasons. Fundamentally a nice wine though - bright future ahead of it so quite the bargain.
 
This wine just turned up here in Oz on offer at one of my online retailers at a discount (although Aussie prices nowhere near as cheap as UK!), so plumped for a six pack. I usually drink these around age 10 and they are just about hitting their stride at that point for my palate.

Cheers

Just ordered a case of the 2016 Bernadotte for £132 delivered from Laithwaites if anybody else is interested. I thought £11/bottle seemed quite reasonable but you need to buy 12.

I got a new customer discount but there may be potential for discount stacking as Paul Benny mentioned on another thread.
