Morning all,
Any idea of what the JD Secret Wine #490 is?
Dear Friends,
Hot off the podium with a TROPHY from WA's leading wine show and a slew of GOLD MEDALS since its release, this 96 Point 2019 Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon blend has been stealing the scene - leaving such icons as Wynns, Cape Mentelle and Howard Park in its wake.
Never before offered at JDC, comes this exceptional vinous gem, and yours for the taking at HALF PRICE...Secret Wine # 490.
"Classical, supple and silky. The red fruits are on show here, backed by a wall of crafted oak. The oak provides structure but also rigidity, the waves of flavour crash against it in the mouth. The acidity is finely woven into the fruit, stitched with invisible thread". 95 Points James Halliday
"A rich and full wine with delicate spicy nose, vibrant, bright flavours of plum, lavender, mint and violet. A juicy, elegant and stylish wine." 94 Points Decanter World Wine Awards

The rules remain the same folks. No rainchecks. No biff...And no tears if you miss out.
As always, the wine's identity won't be revealed until it arrives safely on your doorstep. I have provided a list of clues below to whet your appetite. As usual, you are assured that any wine offered as part of my Secret Wine Series is of the highest quality (and in today's case, a TROPHY winner), and is offered at HALF PRICE!
These deals are presented anonymously to protect the hard work the winery has endured building their brand (and to be honest, this winery was downright defensive about keeping this one under wraps). It's a win/win my friends…they've cleared their cellars for the new vintages, and you are privy to yet another unbeatable deal.
Get ready, get set…GO!
