"Remarkably, the 2002 The Factor may be even more awesome than the 2001. It boasts a blackberry liqueur-like intensity with chocolatey richness intermixed with blackberries, raspberries, and cherries. The unctuous texture, refreshing acidity, and sweet tannin frame-up this magnificent wine. It should drink well for 15+ years. Interestingly, the 2002 The Factor did not have the Cote Rotie-like roasted element found in the 2001, no doubt because 2002 was a much cooler growing year than the record heat experienced in 2001."

"A deep, spicy, heady and floral bouquet alluringly steeped in briary dark plums, cassis and redcurrants with nuances of undergrowth and sweet vanilla oak. There's not even a suggestion of over-ripeness or portiness, but a purity of intense wild fruit and musky spices. Velvet-smooth and framed by silky-fine tannins, the sumptuous palate of vibrant black and red berry fruits is saturated by concentrated flavour, yet remains completely effortless and approachable. Culminating in a typically meaty, savoury finish, it's an exercise in carefully controlled power, elegantly packaged and smoothly delivered. Drink 2010-2014+."

Buying At Auction?

Your Questions, Answered

What do you need from me to get started?

We will need you to confirm that you are over 18 (for obvious reasons!) and to open an account by registering on the site. This will include provision of credit card details for any eventual purchases. You will also need to sign that you have read the terms and conditions.
How many wines are in each Lot?

You will see the quantity (number of bottles) stated above the price. Please note that the bid-price is per bottle so you will need to multiply the price by the number of bottles in the lot to calculate the total price of the lot.
Can I cancel my bid if I change my mind?

All bids are final - please think before you confirm your bid.
How much is the Buyers' Commission?

We have an extremely competitive buyers' commission of 16.5% (GST inclusive). This will be added to the final winning price of your Lot at the end of the auction.
What are your freight charges?

Please see our Delivery Policy for full details relating to freight.
Is there a Guarantee on my wine?

Under Australian law, consumer guarantees do not apply to goods purchased at auction - all such purchases are at the risk of the Buyer. We will always provide as much detail as we can as to the visual condition and provenance of each Lot, however this is done so as a guide rather than as a guarantee.
