It depends. Bin 8 is made to be consumed when you buy it, not cellared for an extended period of time. if you are planning to drink it sometime soon then yeah. Not sure how it is going to age.

And if you like this particular blend of course. Buying just for the sake of the discount would be foolish.

tWF give the '12 a drinking window from 2018 to 2025+ and a reasonable score

Had one earlier this year. The style is definitely not made for long term cellaring. I'd be drinking the 2012 immediately.

"forgotten barrels" gotta be a worry.....

The barrels were put in the wrong place in the winery and so got a couple of extra years of barrel time.
Here is the story

'Forgotten Barrels' Cabernet Sauvignon | Sepp No5

Current Vintage: 2014 A single vineyard wine made back in 2014, amusingly a handful of barrels were stacked in the wrong place and eventually forgotten behind younger wines. They received a couple of years more barrel maturation than planned and boy was that a good mistake, it was clear we had...

I was keen to try a bottle or two some time back. This and some other wines recently discussed have been on clearance for a while but all out of stock in my area

A few impulse purchases from Liquor Barons / Farmer Jacks, Subiaco. Diana Madeleines were $105 and the Barolos $60 and $80 respectively.

For those that like Rhone blends Teusner Avatar (GMS) for $18. I cleaned out VC City Beach (they only had a handful of bottles - honest) Haven't checked other stores.

TWC have Zontes Footstep Chocolate Factory at $14.99 p/b for a case or $15.99 for single bottle. Not bad.

I generally take Vivino lightly. 3.6 is actually very AVG for a wine that price, let alone above $20-30.

Yeah Vivino is definitely to be taken with a pinch of salt but if you hit anything above four stars usually you are heading in the right direction.

I must say that it gives me a google giggle reading some of the reviews...there are some w@#kers out there! Myself included

I normally look for people who write in-depth reviews, or have written plenty.

I dismiss any short reviews, or low count reviewers.

I think anything above 4.0 is solid, sometimes I'll buy 3.8-3.9. however I rarely go below, because I find even reading bad reviewers most people will give a 2-3 and rarely a 1.

It could be a nice wine and for the price, it has to be worth at least that! A few commented on being grossly overpriced, may of scored higher if it was cheaper.
