Mike Bennie just busy according to him. I wouldn't read anything into it.

Hope you are well,

Going from "we have reviewed all Fraser's wines before release - in Jan or Feb each year (for as long as I can remember) to now "oh I'm way to busy, and I'm fully booked past April..... But don't read anything into it ... Yeah nah. I'm not buying that.

Rossco, think Fraser is very comfortable in his own skin and who knows "didn't bother or care" to send samples off for what is just another subjective assessment. Wine critics make me laugh... something about feeding off a carcass

Fraser is one of the nicest people in wine. Amazing fellow and I have tremendous admiration and respect for him. Same goes for Mark Bulman, absolute ripping bloke who always goes out of his way. Genuine people

Hi Ian, thank you for asking, very well and after a bit of golfing wilderness back on the fairways again (occasionally). I agree with the praise for Fraser and his amazing dedication and alternative viewpoint on winemaking styles. No doubt makes his wines so admired. It doesn’t really matter what others may rate them, I already have, and my palate thanks me.
