I think there's plenty of people who'd be happy to pay $85 for a 2014 vat 9 (assume we're talking that vintage).

It'll be more than that when it gets released to retail I suspect.

A few more 2015 rieslings adding to the Duke's Magpie Hill, Grosset Springvale, Knappstein Ackland, Sons of Eden Freya...

94-95pt Vickery Eden Valley Riesling 2015 $17.50 @ winestyle (The Botanical)

95-97pt Shaw Vineyard Canberra Riesling 2015 $19.71 @ AusCellardoor using VIVINO

Different people like different things. I took them up on the Chalambar offer. But I also happily paid $85/bot for Tyrells Vat 9 today as well.

2014 Vat 9 $80 @ Langton's

What's wrong with 12? Two weeks worth if you drink Coopers on Saturday.

less discount per bottle than six

2014 Vat 9 $80 @ Langton's

Actually that's where I bought it from, and checking invoice - it is $80. Less ~$17/bot as I had some credit. Will correct the previous post.

Thanks Qaz - have heard good things - will give the Simpatico a shot this year and see what its like - big talk around the place on the quality of the 2014 Mclaren Vales being released at the moment!

Marius 2014 6pk (3 each of Simpatico & Symphony) $266 ($44.33/bt) @ AusWine

But I'm not a member. And for non-members, it's sold out.
Dunno what the situation is for members - good arbitrage opportunity if you can get yourself a bunch of bottles I guess.

The point is not so much what I spent, but the fact that there is no universal concept of "value" - what one person might think is "expensive", another person thinks is "cheap" - hence why there are Chateau/Domaines in France that are able to sell single bottles at $2k+. Likewise someone else might think something's good value, and someone else goes I'd rather pay 2-10x as much to drink something something better.

The Vat9 probably isn't the cheapest I can get it, but sometimes you just have to carpe diem. Wasn't the most expensive wine I bought today. Nor the cheapest. Drinking a 2008 D'Arenberg Coppermine Road tonight, which I paid $40 for - now this is good value IMHO

Fair points, and 2014 was an excellent year.

Just my own curiosity, but what else did you buy today?

Seems a solid selection. I've always been curious about the Wynns Michael, but never tried it - I hope you can report what it is like. And hopefully the Meshach was cellared well!

Marius 2014 6pk (3 each of Simpatico & Symphony) $266 ($44.33/bt) @ AusWine

Yeah nice - waiting for the email on the 1st - thinking 3 of each is a good start

I've had a 2010 Michael earlier this year (so bought one to replace it) - I think I posted a note in the Nice Wines thread - otherwise it'll be over in CellarTracker. Also hoping the Meshach has been cellared well, but for the price I paid, not too worried - you win some, you lose some with auctions. Had a 2002 Meschach earlier this year (museum release), and it was fantastic (may have posted a note about that). Had a couple of '09s as well - also v.good drinking.

Winestar mystery wine FR141 @ $13.99 seems to be Ferngrove Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 normally $19.99 (the Halliday review notes seem to all match).

With the AMEX $50 offer, this comes down to $9.82 per bottle.

Anyone had it or know much about it? Worth getting?

Thanks

Just bought some GMH Red Meritage 2013 from Geoff Hardy/Pertaringa for $70 a dozen - A very nice and smooth midweek quaffer - beats a lot of the recent V/M quaffers

http://www.winesbygeoffhardy.com.au/purchase/tractor-shed-wine-sale/

Nice one, I got some of the Red Meritage. I was tempted by the 2016 Reserve Shiraz but chickened out
