What’s the general feedback on the V&A?

Had a bottle of the 2010 last year. No notes but I was pretty underwhelmed compared to the black label shiraz. It wasn't bad, just unremarkable considering the rrp

Was it shiraz or shiraz cab blend?

Shiraz

The blend often superior imo. No brainer territory under $30 for me.

Did you compare to the 2010 BL Shiraz?

Did you compare to the 2010 BL Shiraz?

Not on that night but I've had the BL Shiraz 10 & 12 several times.

Might have benefited from a decant. I think we opened it after finishing the first bottle (John Duval Entity 2012)

To Wynns, the quality easily reflects on its price. From black label to John Riddoch. you will see they are getting finer and finer.

Fair points

IMO the V&A cab shiraz is better than the straight shiraz
Both need a good ~3 hour decant if aged
The 2012 entity is a superior wine to both I have a magnum of the 2012 to open next year for my 40th, signed by John. Hopefully we'll actually go to the cellar door/artisans to drink it with him!

Sign up to their mailing list.. they often release new vintages at a discount. The new Plexus was released about a month ago at a slight discount

The Entity is "on sale" currently, but not much discount over RRP.

https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_906975/john-duval-entity-shiraz

Last year it was around $41 with discounts from Dan's at one stage.

It would stack with 10% cashback.

I recall buying a 6pk in February, I ended up paying around $44 P/B

Entity is a wine that doesn't attract a huge premium at auction. Langtons are reporting sales from this year on vintages as far back as 2005 that went under current retail (including buyer's premium). I paid $54ea for the two 2012s I picked up last year

With a current 10% cashback it should take the effective price to sub $40

 

[misohoney]

I regret bringing this up because now I am tempted with the cashback

If I recall correctly the 2017 Entity was rated 99 points by JH hence the higher bidding price at Langtons.
