Thanks paddywide. Slight variation on the code worked for me.

I keyboard mashed 5 digits and it worked first attempt. Suspect they sent out ALOT of sms's. Apologies out to the mystery recipient whose code I've stolen! Was $9 delivery, so $21.50 a bottle. seems like a decent deal.

Just did the same trick - hopefully it is a goodie! worth the risk at that price

Interestingly its very hard to find info about the 2017 online - the 2013 they have as an out of stock wine on their website, and you can find reviews etc (halliday, wine showcase), but nothing for the 2017. Wondering if perhaps this was bottled for a specific purpose i.e. export or airline lounges etc. hence the offloading of stock?

Very interesting indeed. I hope this is an ok wine.
I saw old thread VM used to offload the 2006 and 2013 for$30. Some people love it and some don't.

So this secret deal even better.
I might jump on this and hope it is worth it with cellaring.

Interestingly I see an old VM notes of 2006 vintage that it was aged on French oak for 5 years before bottling. It was $100rrp
Obviously if this is 2017 - no longer 5 years Oak. Now it is $180 rrp.

Vivino had great rating though. Average ppl paid for $126.20 a bottle

Thank you guys! But I bought too much wines now

Noticed that Get Wines Direct are also selling Glen Eldon Dry Bore Shiraz for $15/bottle, usually sold for $35 on their website.

Glen Eldon Dry Bore Barossa Shiraz 2017 | Buy Wines online Australia wide | Premium Wines direct

2017 Glen Eldon Dry Bore Barossa Shiraz. Totally opaque black dark red colour with a very dark red hue. Pronounced liquorice and ripe blackberry aromatics meld into some toasty vanillin oak with hints of dark chocolate and spice following on. Rich and opulently textured the palate features...

www.getwinesdirect.com

Interested to hear from those with more knowledge than me - what's the usual driver for such clearences? Cash flow? Need to clear space for a new vintage?

Sometimes seems too good to be true, but guess there has to be some driver for moving stock at almost 90% off their listed price?

Glen Eldon attempted to kick start a direct wine club with attractive offers over the period 2011-2013, but it never really gained traction as the regular prices were charged again for the Old Vine and Twisted Trunk levels. The last Dry Bore I bought was 2009 vintage at $16, some Old Vine series from 2010 at $30. Vinomofo has had some GE wines, including Twisted Trunk 2013 @ $39 in August 2018 and some of the Old Vine series in 2018 also. GWD had had Dry Bore previously too.
I drank my last Old Vine Shiraz Grenache 2010 last week, good wine, Dry Bore 2009 all gone long ago.

Vintage 2017 was a cool year, I have no idea what the Glen Eldon wines from that vintage might be like. The last vintage on Wine Companion is 2015 (92), 2014 (94), 2013 (86), 2012 (95).

If you like St Hallett Blockhead (which I do) you'll like the GE Dry Bore. Full bodied shiraz with nice fruit flavours. Great mid week drink. The twisted trunk which was sold out almost immediately just has a bit more oak and will last a few more years. Like a St Hallett Blackwell to a Blockhead.

I do like the Blackwell!
When you say sold out immediately, it was still available at approx 2pm today.
Or did you mean in a different sale?

Would be a shame if this one was the 2013 being cleared out. I assume it's the '17. Funnily, Vivino rates both about the same... Halliday is but one guy I suppose

Combination of hugely inflated RRP and need for cashflow in these testing times with no restaurant or cellar door sales?
