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
 
"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

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 😫😫

I generally take Vivino lightly, but a 3.6 is actually very AVG for a wine that price.
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.
