It looks like it's probably an old listing, I would be surprised if any are available. Unless you saw it in-store, even then it's probably past it's time esp with retail store storage.

In 1995, the listed RRP was around $100. Take into account that was 26 years ago.

2007, from what I read said drink up to 2020. However, every critic says different.

Mount Langi Ghiran
Langi Shiraz 2007 $103
Normally new releases $170-199
I've found 1 bottle at my local on cellar release. Anyone ever tried any vintage?

That new RRP of $200 is a bit of a joke for the Langi shiraz. You could pick off old vintages of this wine for $60-70 every day at Langtons only a year ago. I wouldn't buy at $100, maybe at $80.

Seppelt St Peters is a better alternative at $55 on cellardoor. The Langi is probably slightly better but not materially.

Just picked up some decent bottles from my local BWS here in SA:

2 x Brown Brothers Patricia Shiraz @ $29 ea
2 x Cirillo 1850 Grenache @ $44 eac
1 x Hardys Thomas Hardy CS @ $65.60

All on clearance and not sure of vintage.

Great price on the Cirillo - what vintage? 2013?

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Plenty TH CS at multiple BWS stores in MEL for $65

Available at plenty of stores, I would probably grab some if there was CB.
You probably should of added 1 bottle, and got an extra 10% off.

I literally never see good buys of late on Langton's, everything seems to hit the RRP.

Take into account, Langton's adds 16.5%+ buyer's fee + shipping. $80 is basically $96 plus shipping.
Btw, I'm searching Langton's and I can't find the Shiraz Langi sales history. Do you have a link?
I can see a few 89, 92 on auction but their well past their time I imagine.

I think $100, for a 15 year old Langi is good value(Especially a well rated year). I've seen the $55 St Peter's and passed on it personally.

I had a 2003 Langi a few weeks ago. Was still delish. I bought it for $55 ages ago.

Great price on the Cirillo - what vintage? 2013?

Cirillo is 2013, Patricia is 2015 and Thomas Hardy is 2014.

The $80 was the all in price after buyers premium and generally 65-75. I bought some 2005’s from vinomofo a while back for about $55. My point is that it’s definitely not a $200 wine and pretty marginal at $100 when they’ve been flogging it cheaply the last 10 years.
Just because they double the RRP from one vintage to the next doesn’t make it a deal when it’s 50% off and back to the original RRP from 2 years ago.

I went back 5 years on the forum, cheapest with discounts I saw was $73-75 5 years ago, and $99.

Everyone jumped on Moss Wood 2012 here, but no one said a word about 2011 for $20 more. You could say certain vintages hold more value, or simply it's gone up in time.

$55 is a great price, I'm sure if they popped up everyone would jump on that. But, we can't really compare a deal years ago to what's available today.
I don't exactly know what you're trying to argue here. I'm not paying $199, I've paid $100 for a 15 year old wine I want to drink soon. I don't have a time machine, if so I'd happily buy it for $55.
Used cars are 20% more expensive, property has jumped 20% this year...I mean even aged wine goes up in value.

Just remember everyday at auction, or in store people pay over $150 for Basket Press and it's $75 as a member. You win some, you lose some.

Agree. I stoped buying Langi in 2012 after they doubled the price and managed to hold off until earlier this year when FC had the 2018 vintage around $90 after all discounts.

Mount Langi is just one example of quite a few $200 wines that don’t justify their price tag, not because they’re not good but for doubling RRP to maximise export profits. Good luck with that strategy now No wonder we are seeing so many “half price” offers lately.

Interesting biz - 389s rrp has gone through the roof from $50 to $100 and that feels crazy. Then we see Langi quadrupling in same period. Sheesh.

Try one and let us know?

A lot of those reviewers will have paid $100-120 and there are some incredible wines available at that price. Even more so for savvy buyers like people on this forum. It's quite possible that at $100+ it doesn't stack up to the competition but at $60 it would be a different proposition

I only got one, so will sit on it for a while.

The Serafino 2013 Reserve Tempranillo cleanskins turned up today. Couldn't find much info on them online so it was a bit of a gamble but for $70 delivered, after opening one up I've gotta say I'm happy. They still have some of the shiraz and gts blend for $10/btl, sale finishes tomorrow.

I don't remember if you're in Sydney but there should be around 3 dozen spread between Hunters Hill, Double Bay, Macquarie Park, Newtown & Forestville.

I can check other areas if anybody is interested.

The 2015 is widely available in store and online.
