5 minutes after I toddled off to work. Good timing I suspect in the grand scheme of things ...

At $5 a bottle for 24 you could always give away the ones that don't take your fancy.

Half empty...........?

 

[Buzzard]

I thought 24 bottles for ~120 worked out at ~5 each.

I think Prozac means that the peeps receiving the ones you didn't like would be getting the 1/2 sampled bottles

This is Dan's so could be ANY vintage. Go into store if needing to check vintage before purchase. Never trust what it says online (except for Cellar releases).

 

[mathiex]

has there been a bad vintage of this in recent memory?

Just the 2011 I guess.

Yep, my last 2 orders were rejected too... about $80 worth of cashback. I got in touch and they're looking into it.

Me too. Never had a problem until recently. It relies on the retailer confirming, so it would appear close to impossible to 'prove'.

Update: CR put customer first and sorted it out and quite quickly too.

Also saw this and thought the Wynns was good value.For Cabernet lovers the Xanadu from MR is under $30. Voted best Cab at The National Wine Show.Xanadu Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Didn't they have a 2-for-1 sale on just about everything last year (before Diane sold up)? Maybe offloading some old stock whilst they make way for a rebranding or something. Frankly I find the bottles a bit of a PITA - look nice, painful to store.

Dan Murphys running 2014 Laurance Melot @ $120 for 2 x 6-packs. Is it a good buy?

Kinda curious myself, the online reviews....well they're basically non-existent (Halliday might dig the dirt a bit?) seems cheap enough!

Not had the straight Merlot, but have the 2012 Cab Merlot (picked up around $14 at Grays) and the 2011 Cabernet (picked up around $20 at Grays). Both good wines. We have a local store here in WA that often has their wines at similar prices and I'm sure they have had the Merlot at $14 before. So is $20 for the Merlot a good deal? Probably not bad, but personally I would pass.

It's $10/bottle. Would that change your recommendation?

Personally, I've only had their Chardonnay, which was nice enough. Not that keen to acquire more as their bottles are a bit of a PITA to store.

I've always struggled to get past the pretentious grounds of the winery, and the bottles, but I guess those are my prejudices. A few of my friends really love the wine, but it has always been middling to below average for my taste. Often has an unpleasant over-oakiness with huge vanilla flavours which I suspect is introduced through woodchips. At $10 a bottle it's hard to argue though.

Laurance wines were sold last year.

Anyone tried Grant Burge Corryton Estate Cab Sav?
Cracka offer it for $60 (they say down from $185).
I've only heard about Corryton Park, not the Estate.
