Hi guys, any comment for the Burge Family Draycott Cabernet Sauvignon 2018? It’s $5 cheaper than the Shiraz.


I really enjoyed their Draycottt shiraz of the same year. So much so I grabbed another sixer.

Very tempted to grab this CS

JH 95 points by Tyson Stelzer (I don’t rate him much though)

Solid and bold Barossa cabernet, packed with blackcurrants and cassis, met in full force by dense, dark chocolate oak. It holds itself with composure, thanks to a rigid mesh of impressively fine-grained tannins and well-pitched acidity, maintaining confidence and assurance through a long finish. Unashamedly Barossan yet unmistakably cabernet. Patience.

I wonder when AI will replace wine reviewers that punch out such emotive prose that could be used to describe anything from body wash to cough...... "maintaining confidence and assurance through a long finish"

But it sure does make me want a Draycott Cab Sauv!!!

Is there an easy way to find which dan murphys & bws have stock? I am forever hunting for it
 
does it make the wine finds all that more satisfying when you do hunt down a bottle 50% off close to your home? but yeah- agree the BWS search is like finding a needle in a haystack.
 
The unintended (I assume) consequence of the clearance stock change is that the 'Wine Specials' section of the BWS website is now practically unusable as it is also swamped by out of stock items.

I think BWS market towards impulse buys, people driving past on their way home and grabbing a bottle, rather than online sales. They'd want to with the way their website works now.
 
Pleasant surprise in the latest delivery of cheap reds from Organic Wines: my favourite from the previous delivery, the Miracle on the Vine Merlot 2019, came in a litre bottle rather than 750ml - presumably sold off because of the mis-labelling.
ETA: and I see this is my 500th post.

reviews/notes:
2022 Lambert Nebbiolo [Yarra Valley]
”For what I want from a wine, nebbiolo ticks every box,” says Lambert. “But it’s the ultimate challenge for a winemaker. The winemaking itself is relatively easy, but the variety is so fickle: you have to adapt your farming to the site where it’s grown, and it has such a long growing season. There are so many opportunities for things to go wrong; you have to be so patient.” Luckily, Lambert is patient: even in the cool, late 2022 vintage, he has coaxed beautiful, red cherry fruit and superfine, porcelain-textured tannins from this fickle grape. Deceptively light-looking and (relatively) “soft” (for a nebbiolo) now, there’s plenty of acid, tannin and stuffing here to see it age well in the bottle.

Here's an odd one, Cellared Sale

If you like aged wines, the prices seems very fair!
not as fair as they used to be :)

How coughpy is the BWS website? Tried do a pickup order (thanks @SirCrumpet for the listings) and cannot proceed to the payment page because the store is not open, ie not available for pickup. Very annoying as the St Hugo was less than $20 with the discounted price, 6 bottle discount, and shopback cashback. Oh well.
Doing the same for me. I thought it was due to going through the shopback app. I’m sure I’ve ordered after hours on the bws site many times before?!!
I think it happens in all stores. Same thing to me. I couldn't proceed the payment last night. It is Canberra city store.
question is why only their website and not app?
belated thanks, i had to grab these later when Cashrewards had 12%, because after the physical store closed, website wouldn't let me click&collect from it, even though i could via app - never encountered that before
 
For the Pinot fans, this seems like a decent deal for the Coldstream Pinot Reserve 2022 via WineStar.
$42.50 per botle instead of $85 PINOT DEAL

A good rating from Hooke & Winefront and funnily enough Halliday rates it pretty well himself.

There’s a bit of brood to this 2022 release, which should stand it in great stead for the future. It has very good depth of fruit, and excellent length, but it’s the foot-in-each-camp aspect that defines it: it feels stewy, it feels fresh, it shows it’s oak, it’s brooding/understated. It’s savoury, fruity and oak-kissed; it gives off a real impression of power. Assured is the word, in the most positive of senses. Date: Oct 2023; Alcohol: 13.5%; Price: $85.00; Closure: Screwcap; Drink: 2026-2033+; Rated: 95 Points; Campbell Mattinson; The Wine Front
