...Ive found DM secret description seem to be full or errors lately. Maybe that allows them to ship more the a single wine (ie. the Hares chase, both Ironscraper and the 'Hares Chase Shiraz' shipped for same product.)
So, on a similar note there is a possibility this may also be Hares Chase Ironscraper... Mind you, thats really not a bad thing is it? Sure the Ironscraper 2013 is 14%alc but does that ever line up with DM? And 'Original Price' on DM fluctuates more then the weather we've had recently. In the end the higher 'original price' DM puts on, the more CR you get back $14.90 is generally the low point DM sell Ironscraper for also.
Note the similarities:
CM 94pt review of Ironscraper 2013: "Dark, brooding colour and a palate to match. This is thick and grunty with asphalt, tar and liquid (dark) chocolate oozing slowly through the mouth. So chunky with flavour, you could carve it. It's well done, too."
DM_MYSTERY211/secret-selection-barossa-valley-shiraz-2013: "This Secret Selection is a classic Barossa Shiraz with a dark, brooding colour and palate to match. Full-bodied and rich with chocolate, cedar, and bramble
Yep, I just managed to grab some 2015 Woods Crampton Old John from cracka for $9 a bottle, as they dropped the price while still keeping a code active (they fixed price before others could benefit) Then the next day boomed on 2016 Old John from CM with a $50 voucher for $10 a bottle.... happy camper
Nice research.
So, if it's Ironscraper, they have marked it as a Cellar Release and bumped the "old" price by $6 since they last offered it at $39.99 as a non-secret wine 3 months ago, and got the a/v% wrong.
The deep discount would fit Ironscraper better than TF, they have the 2016 Ironscraper @ $35->$12.90

Hare's Chase
'Ironscraper' Shiraz 2016
Rating: 96
This is gloriously expressed on the nose showing blackberry, blackcurrant, chocolate tart, leather, cake spice and vanilla notes. The palate is superbly concentrated and richly fruited, delivering outstanding depth and intensity, wonderfully enhanced by velvety texture and supple tannins. Bold and sturdy, yet silky and flowing. At its best: 2019 to 2028. AU$35.00. June 2018.
There are a few 6-packs of the 2016 on Langtons, with a low reserve price
