Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

I believe this to be the Clarendon HIlls Hickinbotham Shiraz 2014:


Here is the listing for the 2013:


I am feeling pretty burnt on the Clarendon Hills wines so I think I might avoid. Although, the magnitude of the discount is very tempting.

Thanks. Quite interesting how often Clarendon Hills are being listed for Secret Selection. I really enjoyed the bottle of the 2013 I tasted and I have a few more in the cellar. Might grab a couple of the 14.

FWIW - Halliday rates the 2014 at 94 compared with 95 for the 2013.

Burnt as in drank too much of it? or as in you weren't happy with the last lot?
 
Be wary when buying Dan Murphy specials as the Vintage advertised via the rating given, eg 95, isn't the one actually supplied! Dan Murphy blames their marketing department, though it happens a little too often for comfort.

The Clarendon Hills wines are under cork though, this one says screw cap?

Would anybody care to have a guess at what this one may be from Dan’s?

Cheers,

There's a thread on Dan's (and other) deals here:

This wine is Clarendon Hills Hickinbotham.
 
And the Champagne page won’t load - just comes up with an ‘Ooops’ - anybody have a contact in ACCC they can access pronto?

Removing products from online when a promo running is understandable - deliberately engineering a web site not to load and display a fictitious error page when a promo is running has to be against the ‘Geneva Convention’ or sumpin’ - just disgraceful if they have done this.

Please a few others check and tell me I am not dreamin’?

Can confirm "oops".

Oops seems to be the result if your search returns no matches. Get the same if I search for gin. So looks like they closed that loophole from last time.

Penfolds does return a few results for expensive packs so no oops in that case

I.e looks like they've just removed all champagne and gin and most penfolds from the site for now

I can't find any publicly available reviews on cellartracker or vivino. Clarendon hills now has a track record of having big RRP wines that are sold at huge discounts at Dan's. This is not a good look in my mind.

The wines I've tried, albeit at huge discounts, have been good value at the price I paid for them, but no way are they worth the original quoted rrp for me.

The Clarendon Hills wines are under cork though, this one says screw cap?

Maybe we'll get the St Henri 2014 instead! (It also used to say wine of South Australia : )
