I had low-ball expectations but actually found it to be not too shabby. The flavour profile immediately jumps out at you as being from somewhere other than Australia in origin, smokey notes with more savoury than sweet fruit, controlled use of oak, more mid-weight than heavy-weight but otherwise quite a serviceable drop but as usual YMMV

Out of interest, what vintage did you get?

Just checked, the 2021....

Ok, same as me. Maybe it was all to do with my expectations. Will have to try another bottle

I think this wine caper is very much down to personal taste, just received a sixer of the Alsace Wolfberger Pinot Gris for the same price and retailer for my partner and at $5 a bottle is really quite slurpable, and that's coming from another confirmed red wine bigot

I blew my budget on whisky…

I feel your pain!
Not that I need any more Scotch but Benriach isn't bad. I might poke my nose in when I have my annual run-away-shivering-from-Canberra escape.

I had the ‘17 a few years back and really enjoyed it

That link didn’t work for me but googling does find it. Be interesting to check out the specials and whether the old accounts work

I received a ‘we are back’ email with a big 50% sale but after checking the site, I can’t find any interesting deal.

Yeah LOL, there's 40% or so off bad wolf blass stuff and one Japanese blended whisky claimed to be 65% off. What a swizz. I'm still so cross with Aramex for smashing my clonakilla and now this that I'm done with capitalism and am going to not buy anything more ever again and instead just drink the cellar out... Was nice knowing you guys

As an aside Shopback and Cashrewards standard cash back rates have dropped for First Choice and Liquorland, wonder why?

No way Bill Bosworth!!
It’s been too long.
You can’t just walk away like that!!
I would be very unhappy if my Clonakilla had been smashed without satisfactory compensation but….
You know you love the thrill of the chase …

Enjoy the cellar

Did you buy the Clonakilla with credit card, would there be insurance through your cc company?

Have you had it before? Where you happy with the selection ? I I don’t mind their Barossa Shiraz when it has a bit of age.

I have, and requested all reds (which they accommodated).

this was my box last time, the 2016 Touriga is top notch (I still have the 2x 2018), Shiraz was good, and Pinot I can't remember though it's placed on my shelf in the "nothing great" section.
