Oh I never kid.

Puts me off ordering from them again...

From My Wine Companion - 2011 Barossa Shiraz - $42.95 (Allegedly ) down to $24.95:

Looks like the same one as from Cracka recently for the same price. Both quoted fruit not make it for flagship wine.

"Hailing from the 2011 vintage (one of the toughest in years) the winery took the bold decision not to release their most esteemed label, instead using the juice from the old blocks for their second label. As a result, it’s one of the best they’ve ever produced."

No idea what it is even after extensive googgling. Any ideas?

Oh, and the Kemenys Hidden Label does have the wine makers name hidden on the label.

You looked and found it?

 

[TomVexille]

You looked and found it?

Yeah. It's there.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Yeah. It's there.

Crikey - look at that - I didn't even see Blacky's lips move!

That's because blackcat was busy dealing with customer orders.

Had a call from Cracka this afternoon about this wine.

First call I have had in over a year.

They seem surprised that I had heard about it and weren't aware of it going out as an email to anyone.

They also had 2008 Wolf Blass Black Label on offer for around $65 a bottle.

It always does.

 

[burmans]

Not always easy to find though!

Just cracked open one of these; it is a big shiraz! very enjoyable though and seems to be smoothing out over time.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Yes it's big - Yep it appreciates a decant - Yeah it will develop over time - but I lack patience.

By time I meant an hour or two

That sounds like enough cellaring...

 

[blackcat20]

Pour into decanter. Immediately pour into glass. By the time you get to the end, it's 'done'.

Howdy. Usually perusing the Vinomofo thread but received an email from Cracka and thought it could be a decent deal. It is a 2012 Shiraz Cabernet, 96pts, 6 gold medals, 5 silver, rrp $55 down to $27.50 sold in a sixer. Any ideas?

Based on the awards, I'd venture that it is the Wolf Blass White Label Robe Mount Benson Shiraz Cab.

Spot on.
Wolf Blass online site selling for $269.94 / Case ($45/bottle) and NOT $55 as claimed.
