You didn't get the same sampler as the wine judges I bet. I bought a four pack of these at about $30 late last year and I loved it. Had a couple in a month. Did not disappoint. A wine with good fruit and much finesse.

That's why this wine game is so subjective. A critic could conceivably give a wine 97 and a separate bottle from another barrel may get a 93. Interesting if you are paying ninety bucks and you get the underwhelmed. Maybe the wine shows are stacked with companies known better tasters. WELL HELLO.

If a wine gets 3.8 or more on Vivino, I assume it will be good enough before doing some more research. 3.4 doesn't impress as a tyre kicker originally. I have had their Catkin and it was lovely.

Just bought a six pack of this. If it is said 2017 Haselgrove, it is definately punching above itself.

Sorry. This was a wine from the Fo about six years ago and like the Glenlofty 2011, just stunning purchases.

Valid point indeed but if half the fun is in the chase and cash is available, then why not? I was in this situation and realised I had too many under the house. Cold Turkey in the buying has worked a treat plus I have been lucky to pass on many dozens to mates at cost. As a result I have not...

No big deal.....they come, they come. What's a few days delay?? Since this is the segment, can I tell you that I am enjoying an old Fo fave...a Maverick GSM 2013, probably a nine dollar wine. It tastes absolutely stunning and worthy of a fifty bucker. Just luscious, full and nothing out of place.

Money for nothing and my chicks for free. Well, that is if I knew someone who owned a farm and was giving away the cute little things but at least I got the first part right. Managed to shift a couple of dozen plonks from under the house to mates which has freed up some coin and temptation being...

I must say I havent had that many reds from Clare, however the ones that i have had were very good. I remember a Pikes Los Triasomethingorrather and it was a Shiraz Tempranilo blend. Better than good that one from a couple of years ago. I know there were one or two more, but just goes to show...

Storing well in a controlled lower Celsius setup is the key for longevity. Ten years for stelvin is just dandy. What I find is the actual glass makes one hell of a difference to enjoyment and the flavour differential between my preferred and another two I have is remarkable. However I have been...

Nice to have a stab in the dark sometimes to see whether you have found a stunner or whether you have found a wine worth fourteen bucks that tastes like its fourteen bucks. I think a review from those who bought will be in order. You can read plenty of reviews and get a generalised idea but you...

I only ever have to have one to know the decision.......I am looking forward to it immensely considering how lovely the late twenny bucker pinots i have had tasted. When you say Gippsland' could be' , it already is the home of the most expensive pinot in Oz..but that means jack to me. You have...

I just went back to the Ebay site and noticed that I had bought last year their 6 pack of cabernets. Still for sale I see for $129. Incidentally, on Saturday night just passed eight of us had thai and i happened to bring as the second bot( The first a tokar estate 2019 pinot, 7.25 /10) a 2017...

just went and bought.

And if no good, just drop in an ice cube soaked in bitters. Works a treat but you will not need it with this.

At $13.80nett via ebay delivered, it was enough for me to just go 15days short of the 6 month wine buying embargo but I have been staring at this one for 3 weeks before your positive comments. Lightfoot and Sons in Gippsland and the Bellvale are both about $26, both stunning, so I would expect...

Yes,oops, but I just squeezed in the state correctly. I did a swap with a mate last week, and on Friday I knocked back his one, which was tasted blind, and I got the shiraz correct, the state correct but i thought it was about 4 to 6. Ended up being a Taylors 2019 S limestone/Clare so i did...

Timely, had an old Fo Harewood 2011 Reserve Cabernet last night and it was seriously good. All of those wine critic pleasantries could be found there and it does show the strength of the Margy Cab but we all knew that. As far as this blend goes, I am just finishing month five buying nil. One to...

A bowl of rice would do me. Why complicate it.

Haven't perused here for months as I am half way through my six month, buy nothing wine buying embargo. I reckon I missed a beaut here however, the past few months have allowed me to put a good dent in the stocks. Come July 1 I will be looking for an olympicwiz review !!
