quite a few good wines, but here's what i'd be ordering:Carpe Diem is live
I almost grabbed the Haut-Bailly II, but I'm not sure whether it is a half bottle, given the mentioned RRP? Still probably an ok buy (equivalent to $70 a bottle).
Here is the listing for the half bottle:
The Langtons shipping ($18.50) almost kills the deals for me...
Public holiday tomorrow. Lest we forget.A sneaky Wed carpe sale by Langtons.
I love that stuff, and it's good value imho at about $25-28. Others on this forum less keen on it. It's possible it's not quite the really excellent drop it was 10 years ago but I have it semiregularly and it always impresses.While grabbing some Redman from Dans, I also grabbed a bottle of Majella Cabernet 2020 (which is currently $28.50 after gift cards). I highly recommend it - it has a lovely aroma, is medium bodied with lots of juicy berries, great length. Tbh I opened it way too early - it will last many years, and will probably be at its best around 2030. But it compared very favourably to a bottle of Frankland Estate Cab 2021 which I had earlier in the week, which I found disappointing - thin, watery and without structure.

I’ve had this wine in 2021, same vintage. A friend had been gifted it and at the time the winery was selling it for $500. In fairness it had fantastic fruit and was a well structured wine but was it worth $500? Certainly not. $80-$100 maybe more like it.Hi guys, I have just come across this Bionics XVIII Shiraz NSW wine.

Yes, I heard it's a well-made wine. I supposed I was wondering where the premium pricing is from. (Purposely inflated or super rare or cult wine) As I have never heard of this brand. interestingly, those who had this wine has all been gifted.I’ve had this wine in 2021, same vintage.
