Could be a good buy with a $50 voucher, shame I don't have one.
yeah - dont have any $50 CM vouchers, although I have a MyWineGuy $50 that needs a home.

I managed to resist Zontes Footstep Violet Beauregard Malbec 2015 for ~$10 but couldn't go past a few more Bleasdale reds. There was also some Pertaringa (as a secret deal), West Cape Howe cab merlot and Tintara shiraz that looked great until I checked the finances ;-)

Yep confirmed, cheers Warlock. With a $50 voucher this is a good buy
Dropped into my local Dans last night and firstly sampled then bought a six pack of 2016 Hollick Stock Route Shiraz Cab. A previous vintage was a standout for me but this one, after a second sample did the trick. Longevity is assured with obvious but not too overpowering tannins. A little young obviously but at buy one get one, two for $22, supurb quality and value. Another I bought which I really liked for something different was the Casillero Del Diablo 2016 Carmenere. I normally don't drink wines from o/s but this was very good. Medium weighted, spicy and definitely a good buy at $11.90. It would be the starter of the night before the oomphy ones come out. Like our Tasmanian immigrant delectableblue, I very rarely get here as the temptation would be too great. My cellar is diminishing but at a cost to my one and only liver. However I can't resist a bargain which is my lifes mantra.
Only one, 1 star review on Dans will put a few people off.Ah missed checking out the Hollick Stock. Agree with the comment on Casillero Del Diablo 2016 Carmenere, I still have a case in the cellar that i picked up from Dans for $50 (before egift+CR mind you) last time it was on special, there are some exceptional value wines from Chile.
Also, If anyone is still chasing Hares Chase Ironscraper 2013, Dans has dropped it to $15 a bottle as secret. I'd be in for more - but have agreed to cut back wine purchases.

Halliday gives it 95. Only had block 5 which was average. Cheers RugReckon this is the Wills Domain Cuveé d’ Élevage Shiraz, though 2014 vintage?

Looks like Winedirect has it as $120 a six pack secret deal also Secret 2015 Gold Medal, 96pt McLaren Vale Shiraz 6 Pack Haven't tried it myself but my sister has and recons it's really good but I didn't get the impression it was outstanding.The James Dominguez Cellars Secret Wine # 116 today is the Pertaringa ‘Over the Top’ McLaren Vale Shiraz 2015, at $19.78 a bottle it sounds pretty darn good to me but haven't tried it, anyone want to weigh in with their impressions....cheers
Not a bad wine in my eyes, actually a sentimental favorite. Sorry im no good at giving tasting notes. The fact that i picked up a couple unlabeled cases from their tractor shed sale at $16pb may have made it taste better though. Id pay $20pb for it. Also still available as secret at winedirect if you have credits to spend there.The James Dominguez Cellars Secret Wine # 116 today is the Pertaringa ‘Over the Top’ McLaren Vale Shiraz 2015, at $19.78 a bottle it sounds pretty darn good to me but haven't tried it, anyone want to weigh in with their impressions....cheers

Is under cork.
Thanks, sounds like Chonka was onto the Winedirect deal too, my palate is skewed towards fairly large wines when it comes to shiraz so imagined this might fit the bill after reading some of the reviews, there are too many deals around at the moment, it makes life difficult....Looks like Winedirect has it as $120 a six pack secret deal also Secret 2015 Gold Medal, 96pt McLaren Vale Shiraz 6 Pack Haven't tried it myself but my sister has and recons it's really good but I didn't get the impression it was outstanding.
