I'm still yet to try my Brown Label from last time this deal came round, but 4 x Grey Label and one of these for $105 after WISH/CR seems a pretty solid deal imo.

MSV Sophia 2005 for $45 at Langton's (broker deal).

As usual happy to split a case if anyone is interested.

I had a few Brown labels and would not buy them again.

I had a few Brown labels and would not buy them again.

My understanding is that they are designed for long term cellaring. I would not advocate drinking them immediately and its likely a mistake to do so.

Note for the 2013:

'A wine that will develop with age, softening and mellowing to rewardfifteen years or more of careful cellaring.'

You might also note this review from Halliday:

'From McLaren Vale, Clare Valley and Barossa Valley. A complex, full-bodied shiraz, with layers of fruit, layers of oak and layers of tannins, all created with some care. The wine ends up with surprising elegance and length, although the style won't appeal to everyone.'

Although not yet tasted, I had no hesitation in purchasing several dozen when they were sold as a hidden label deal within the last 2 years for around $25 a bottle. Wolf Blass is a quality producer.

Anything specific as to why you didn't enjoy them? Is it a style you generally like?

The very helpful Stefano @ Boccaccio has assisted me with my AMEX spend.

I purchased a year or 2 ago for $25 on a deal from $50 put them in the fridge and tried them. I usually try 1 or 2 if putting down for some time and didn't think they were worth $25 let alone $50 so drank the lot and they didn't get any better. Not a great lover of WB wines.

I've had a mixed experience with his wines through this sale. I think the Red Meritage 2013 was one of the bargains of the century. Stunning wine for such a ridiculously low price ($70 for 12 I think I paid). However I was not so impressed with the Family Selection Red Blend. Could be tempted by the Durif this time around...

I admit I am a fan of Geoff Hardy wines, so have no hesitation in recommending the current sale here:

Tractor Shed Wine Sale - Wines by Geoff Hardy

Particularly recommend the Durif and the Cabernet Franc.

Note if you use the code 'OZBARGAIN' you get free shipping.

Thanks Dr Ralph and llamaesque! I've opted for a case each of the Red Meritage and the Durif.

Langtons offered this back in Jan the same price (as Langton's Confidential VII). Obviously they haven't managed to get rid of it all yet

They claim it's back due to popular demand...

Didn't try Sophia 05 but $45 seems like fair price.

hello!

I've recently been purchasing through Langtons frequently. I think it's time i hooked myself up with a broker. Is there a referral benefit to anyone to get me in touch with a broker?

thanks!

I wonder how a 2009 vintage has been aged for 10 years, given it's only 2017 last time I looked at my calendar
