Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

Surely not the Diana Madeline 2020? 98 Points from Halliday and 'Exceptional' Classifcation


edit - Well it's either Mosswood or Diana Madeline as they are the only 'Exceptional' WA Cabernets according to Langtons.
Moss Wood current release 2019 scored 97 from Erin Larkin
 
Don't think AC or SK qualifies for this description:
It has also been reviewed by Australia's greatest wine critic at 98 points.
It's certainly tenuous but SK scores get bandied about so much by these discounters that it's not beyond the realm of possibility
 
I bought some Penfolds RWT and had it delivered with instructions to leave at back door where it is secure and shaded. They left it at the front door where it sat in the sun (Day temp of 25 degrees today) for about 45 mins...see photo below. Should I be worried? Do I need to open one to try...prefer not too as I was planning to keep them a while. Should I complain to Dan Murphy? Advise please....

I would not be worried about 45 minutes at 25c

I'd certainly complain.

Being 25C wouldn't be my worry. The fact it was in direct sun and wrapped in black means it could have got quiet warm. If the bottles seemed really hot I'd just be taking it back and getting them replaced. Why risk it?
 
First Choice 25% cash back via Cashrewards ($25 cap)
They have Pepperjack Shiraz 2016 at 6 for $100. Comes in at just under $13 a bottle after cashback.

Also Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz at about $20 a bottle after cashback seems reasonable.

Personally I think the previously posted deal for bin 389 is better value, but FC is also doing a deal on bin 407 2018 or 2019 - 6 for $470 (less $20 when you spend $200). Makes it $75 a bottle. No cashback on the Penfolds, unfortunately.

Vintage cellars has 2019/2020 bin 389 for $75

Stack with VIP10/VIP25/VIP40 on $100/$200/$300 spend

4 bottles for $60ea
If you had to pick the 2019 or 2020, which would be the "better" one? They certainly need time in the cellar, but the reviews indicate the 2020 would be preferred.
