Has anyone here tried this grenache?

Alcala McLaren Vale Grenache 2020

The Heirloom Vineyards Alcala McLaren Vale Grenache was produced from our best McLaren Vale Vineyard whose clones and viticulture embody the very best in cutting edge but old school viticulture and winemaking. Hand tended vines, whole-bunch fermented, basket pressed and stored in French oak...

heirloomvineyards.com.au

Retails for $80 but is on sale at Langtons for $35 - even less for me through a mate's staff discount

I can't really comment on this particular one, I had some other Heirloom wines but cannot recall any "WOW" factor tbh.

If you mate can grab any of CLARENDON HILLS Clarendon Grenache over at Langtons, I would jump on that if Grenache is what you are after.

I have tried the previous vintage of this.

I personally really enjoyed it.
Here is my notes previously.
"Decanted briefly about 30-45mins, Slightly sweet cherry, lighter elegant version of Grenache. Very nice."

I have subsequently ordered more from Langtons and last week just ordered the new 2020 vintage.

Pommery Brut Royal Champagne is $55 at a bunch of BWS in Sydney. After 30% cashback it's $38.50

Champagne not included

Mystery Cases back in CD. Missed a low stock number on a $125 case. Went for a batch with 24 in stock. See what happens.

Champagne is normally excluded.

I'm struggling to find anything worth buying with 30%<, half their clearance prices are more than Dan's.

How do you know how many in stock? I can't see (I don't think...)

What is the strategy with CD mystery cases?

 

[misohoney]

Still quite sceptical on the "value" of wines sold on cd.

Mystery cases at 33-37% off RRP still makes it an average deal compared to some posted on here lately, and there is no mention of the varietal you are getting

Looks like that might be the case this time too. Penfolds also excluded

If you add 70 cases of a mystery box it will usually exceed the number in stock, showing how many are available. Used this as a guide last time to pick the lowest number of a case. Ended up gettinf a range of Bin 311 and 389 Penfolds. Could be luck, might not be. Will get a sense this time around I imagine.

I found one that had one in stock, not sure if this was because people were trying out the "fridge" method at the same time though.

Could be a bunch of fake news! System only works of you're in early... Assuming there is a system!

 

[chylee]

Got 1 from a 12, will report back as well - First timer on the roulette, but there are alot of packs where even trying to add 1 triggers an error for me, weird

Very short stock already exhausted I would thought.

I assume people go for $125 packs?

Bought a $75 pack last time. Maybe extra 15% CD prices. Average selection (Pepperjack, St Herbert's Cab Merlot etc.) Won't bother again. That was my case l, wasn't really reported on what other received.

I was on early and found 2 of the $125 cases had 6 - some had more than 300.... Nothing to say that there were other lower numbers that had already gone though.

Do you have a link?

You mean you try get a case when the least amount is available?

Coles has 20% off liquor, I'm unsure if it's SA only. Code DRINKS20

 

[Steady]

Has this 2010 WA under wraps Cab blend been identified already?

Any thoughts/experience on the '12 Hickinbotham Merlot - I think it has come up before so I guess some AFFers have tried it
