This looks like Ulithorne Frux Frugis 2018 shiraz, anyone had it? Not a fan of GWD or buying 12 packs but this could be a good buy at $17ea.

If the listing as under screwcap is correct it may not be the Frux Frugis, I've only seen that under cork/diam. But you are right, the description is pretty much lifted from Frux Frugis on the CW Wines site. Frux Frugis Shiraz 2018
 
If the listing as under screwcap is correct it may not be the Frux Frugis, I've only seen that under cork/diam.
Last line of the tasting notes matches the description on the CW wines website as well as Blewitt Springs and 12 months of french oak. Ratings seem to match as well.
 
What was in the mixo? Presume one of the pics from earlier but not sure which was which
This guy (I believe). At least it was the one I got - $160 for a selection I'm reasonably happy with. But obvs not at the level of those mystery box in a mystery box things from last yr... $27/btl is not bad for all but the grey label

I assumed that it is 2022 edition of 1847 Wines

But it is puzzling to me as I am yet to see 2021 vintage and also they say "Never before offered at JDC" but it was offered by them in the past

Not 1847.
"$480" (it's actually $450) down to $50? What a joke.

It's curious that the wine is so new and newly listed that Google doesn't seem to find the TN even though the TN does appear on the winery site.
