Maaaybe it's Lone Palm Vineyard Hillside Shiraz — Lone Palm Vineyard | Barossa Valley If so it's also https://www.allaboutwine.co.uk/wine/red/australia/south-australia/lone-palm-vineyards-hillside-shiraz-barossa-valley which means it's selling in the UK for almost the same price without the...

That'd be Allegiance Unity.

You're surely wrong that you don't need the Cliff Edge. Lovely wine, at least based on the ones I've tried. I decided to finally burn my first-time-buyer discount to get that at under $21 (with the $30 cashback). Can't see myself using the Boozebud site much in future. Its UI triumphantly...

Run - don't walk!

I thought it was an OK deal at the price. But looks like it's gone now.

Seems he has a bit of a standard template there... not highly inspiring as far as the standard of reviewing goes. Ulithorne Dona, by the way, I'm pretty sure.

Do careful diligence, I suspect you're looking at 6-bottle cases there.

The shiraz is a bit flabby and overcooked, very disappointing compared to say the 2010 or indeed the previous vintage. The CSM has a bit of structure and I'd consider taking some more for the price (closer to $9 than $10 after WW gift cards and CashRewards). (Just my impressions, of course...

Halliday score re-normalisation system: Subtract 2 to 4 points to get the score a sterner critic would have given. Subtract 10 points if it's an Australian Pinot Noir. Simples!

I think they are just targeting different demographics. You can see it in the differences in the style of the websites and their respective ranges. The cynic in you could have some fun naming the two different demographics :) They send emails at the time of day that their thinking / research...

I imagine it might make a difference if you gently decant the contents of the bottle into the blender, leaving the lees on the walls of the bottle. Not that I've tried the blender approach myself. Maybe you can try blending half a bottle and leaving the remainder to air peacefully, W&D...

(On the Leconfield Cab) Opened my first bottle at the weekend - in a group of 4, no hope of any lasting to a second day. But that's what I'd have guessed. It seemed like something intended for immediate consumption, great value at the price but I wouldn't have pegged it as a cellaring...

I try to give mine a little rest after their travels but heartened to hear unfunkable's verdict. (I was amused to receive two six-boxes inside a CM-branded dozen-box...) On another note, Vintage Cellars seem to have Church Block at 3 for $60, which is certainly nothing special, except for...

94 points from Campbell Mattinson according to My Wine Guy (https://www.mywineguy.com.au/products/2014-teusner-avatar-barossa-valley-gsm) - who, like Langton's, appear to have received a copy of this Halliday review that, for whatever reason, apparently cannot be shared with Halliday's paying...

No, it's not just you. It wouldn't be the first time they've failed to add results to the website database that they've published elsewhere. I have a suspicion it's a strategy designed to sell more print magazine subscriptions.

Nice pickup - and actually, CashRewards is apparently at 12% for CM at the moment, which sweetens the deal further.

Your strategy is sound AC. Less flexible, but remarkably effective when faced with a McLaren Vale mystery wine, might be to just visit the Ulithorne site and then the Mitolo site. It feels like you might find the answer more than half of the time just by doing that. Not being especially big...

Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals Based on previous discussions (#11853), yes.

One other thing I noticed was, "Excludes phone orders and online purchases." Not that they will necessarily be able to tell what channel was used.

Hi rigoler, that's a very terse post. Is it following up on AC's guess in post #11768? Have you tried it and do you have an opinion? Consumed the last of our '08 Tar & Roses Heathcote shiraz the other day, an absolutely delicious wine that has just improved and improved over the years.
