Hmmm, how did you get to that wildcard Mr Misohoney? If I go on site and search for 'wildcard' nothing comes up!

I just followed the provided link and it appeared as advertised.

 

[GoingGrey]

I have tried this now.
It was ranked first of a set of 6 Victorian reds from 2021 by a group of 14 tasters, first despite several of the group disliking it enough to rank it last or close to last. Just not their preferred style, which is more the lush Barossa style.

I thought it was clearly and easily the best wine in the set, although the other wines were all cheaper than the St Peters. (Next best was Paul Osicka Heathcote Shiraz 2021 @ $38, nice, softer style, yet unexciting next to the St Peters and the ever-reliable ATR Wines Chockstone Shiraz 2021 @ $24)
What makes it stand out?
Purity of fruit. It must have had a perfect ripening season and perfectly timed picking and sensitive wine making not to stuff it up. I can't remember a better example of the line and I've tried/drunk most of them from the 70's onwards (previously Gt Western Hermitage line).
Ripe fine tannins. Depending on the winemaking choices, tannin comes from skins, seeds, stalks and the oak. Getting the fine, seamless structure without any hard edges or drying texture is a feature here that many wines don't exhibit.
Oak. Obviously expensive and adds a pleasant if slightly cedary dimension of aroma and flavour. It was a feature that some of the detractors mentioned, but in my experience/opinion is perfectly judged for the fruit weight and expected development over 10+ years of cellaring.
Acid. There, but unobtrusive, just as it should be.

So, if you appreciate this style of wine, this is indeed a very special example and the best of this line that I can remember tasting.
99pts? Who cares, it's just one person's opinion. But it's not unreasonable.

Thanks RB
Really appreciate the review.
Gives me some confidence to buy a couple more.

Yeah, I can do that too. But my question is where does a link like that to wildcards you can't get to easily via the site come from? Is it a bud-bunch-blah thing maybe?

Me thinks some things are better discussed off line.

looking forward to meeting you in a few weeks…..

if you had searched this thread earlier, then you could've found it somewhere cheaper than direct - it might still be possible if another receives it again

Where was Serrat cheaper than direct?

too hard to search, or couldn't find it? AusCellardoor after 10% off, Boccaccio using discounted gift cards, retailers with volume discounts, not sure if they've already flown from the other frequent source

Thank you for the heads up. Stocked up on some 2009 Grand Vintage, who knows when the sale of the Arras brand will be complete and it no longer appear on CellarOne.
