Opinions will vary and we choose what/who we place more faith in. I generally don't buy wine to drink in the short term. I don't buy much SA or Vic 2020 wine but obviously people can like and buy what suits them. I just have less faith in the vested interests in the industry than the unaligned and people I personally trust. I don't place any store in /100 point rating wine scores by any Australian "critics" of Australian wine and their thousands of 96+ point wines.
It was supposed to run until 16 October, but I guess shut early due to Ozbargain traffic.
I mostly try before I buy and I buy a lot of South Australian reds. Including non-SA wines, I bought 500+ bottles from 2018, 300+ from 2019 and less than 120 from 2020. So that's my ranking of those vintages. I've stopped buying from all those vintages and am busy picking out the best I can afford of the excellent 2021 vintage, which, from tastings so far, I rank ahead of those others, by a big margin compared to 2020. The numerous 2021 reds my tasting groups have tried so far have been the most consistently ripe and balanced wines we've seen on a very long time.
It still works for the account it was targeted to as I can testify.
As a wild guess - it is Peos Estate 4 Kings PN 2018
Good guess, but thats 14.5% ABV Vs 13% on the secret wine.
I signed up to JD but am yet to be tempted. Weird as I did it out of FOMO from what looked like some ok stuff in the past. Was I plain wrong there?Rockcliffe Third Reef Pinot Noir 2018
Great Southern
Bing cherry, anise a whiff of chinotto and a sensitive touch of creamy oak to chaperone the flavours along a resounding line of mineralic length and sheer juiciness. Far from prosaic and a little hot. Yet certainly delicious.

I did exactly the same about 6 months ago. Yet to be tempted by anything on offer and glad it’s not just me!
What stores?
Hampton and Sandringham near me.
I’ve only bought once so far. Got the Gomersal Estate Shiraz for $20 - good drop for that price tag.
