Hmm. My fomo was activated there for a moment but '18 dead arm getting 92 from winecompanion ain't a good sign! Aargh. Then I see 96 from James Suckling and I'm in a funk again!!!

I truly don't remember seeing any spend criteria at the time they were saying free St Peters for signing up three friends. But I accept I'm very capable of missing stuff

This $50 spend sounds like an attached string that wasn't mentioned up front. Boooooooooooooooooo!

I assume it works if you put the St Peters in cart as your $50 spend then apply the code?

I eyed an old bottle of Vat 1 on the weekend. $90 for white is not my thing. Elizabeth is good value. Just saying this one in WA was where I was converted!

So, I bought a bottle of '14 grant burge meshach at the last carpe diem. I see langtons are selling it for $99, which looks like less than other years. Wondering if it's not such a good example. Was 2014 a poor year in the Barossa (Langtons has a gap in the ratings and Halliday didn't score the...

Funny you should ask... can't help sorry but can report that last night for a friend's birthday we did a fun blind taste of BLs from my cellar... '01, '13, '15, '18, '21, asking people to put them in date order. People even had a chance if they wanted to taste a smidge a while before we covered...

There's a lot of hype about Hunter sem and it's not all great. But get the right one, and truly old so it has started to yellow, and imho it's very good. The only thing I'll touch from the Hunter. Best Sem I've had was, funnily enough, a Juniper Estate MR Sem a long time ago. Dry grown...

Never warmed to Semillon? Man, you need to get out there! A 8-10 yo sem from a good winery is amazeballs.

Nope

Thanking you! I'm rarely quick enough, but this is a fab reminder

That's a cool deal! Remind me how do you crack those?

I wonder if there's more value in the other packs.... the $180 pack seems to have sold out

I should have added, the Blackbutt is a bordeaux blend, not straight c/s, which also makes it a more interesting thing imho.

I'd rate it much much much much much much more highly than the RSR. To my taste, this is a refined aged WA cab. I know there are fans on the RSR but to me the 2013 RSR was a strange fruit-bomb for an aged Coonawarra cab. Reminded me of aldi chocolate - seems ok at first but then there's...

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.

Thanks. A sneaky Wed carpe sale by Langtons. I grabbed some of the Clarendon grenache for fun, a chris ringland for a laugh, a Turkey flat and a meshach for $75.

Had some of the 2013 Blackbutt last night with a beef stew and it's up there for my best buy for a while. Really nice sophisticated red at 11yo, and with a store credit and the flash code last night it worked out very cheap indeed. Not a jam bomb, but loads of secondary character after a decant...

I used my bunch50 to get the '14 WB black for $20. Handy price. Was tossing up between that or the '18 Wynns Glengyle CS for $19.
