Received this - pretty much rubbish to be expected for $40 per dozen. Will make for a descent cooking wine and gifts etc

As was alluded before
2 x St Huberts The Stag Shiraz 2021
2 x Squealing Pig Cheeky Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
2 x Saltram 1859 Barossa Shiraz 2022
2 x Wynns Coonawarra Estate Coonawarra Shiraz 2021
2 x Pepperjack Barossa Valley-McLaren Vale Tempranillo 2022

Is the Platinum that good?

I liked the Platinum shiraz. But didn't like the Black label (2018) much

I'd agree with that. I had a 2016 WB BL recently and it still hadn't come on the way I'd like. Haven't tried 2021.

Black Label needs 10+ years to be enjoyable unless you are a masochis_. I've got a couple of 2008 and a few 2012 that are probably waiting for the odd cabernet fan at my wake.

And here I thought 8 years would have been enough! 2031 now in the calendar for this one.

Some reviews suggested the drinking window 2021-2032 and 2021-2041. That said, when I had it last year, I could not phantom that it would improve a lot with age.

There are some people (I know one) that enjoy young cellaring-style cabernets. But I've stopped buying them because I generally don't like them under 10-12 years and my partner will only tolerate some at 15+ years. And too often the fruit, oak and tannins mellow nicely, but the acid dominates and it's still not nice to drink, unlike a cuddly warm 5-10 yo Shiraz that you don't have to wait so long for.

I'm an odd cabernet fan, when are you planning on going.

This is how I've felt about D'arenberg Coppermine road, couldn't understand the appeal unfortunately

Same on this one….I had one about 5 years ago and wasn’t impressed, so didn’t drink the rest…2013 vintage so maybe time to try again.

Heading says 2013, description says 2012. Comes up at $99 for me (not logged in), maybe because only 10 bottles left (Update: It let me order so I guess not). Code doesn't work with this offer.

The description closely matches this site - https://montarawines.com.au/product/2017-montara-chalambar-reserve-shiraz/ (different vintage) - which was strangely taken down today (I could get to it earlier today).

Received today and it's the wrong wine. They sent the Grampians 2013 shiraz/cab instead (which they listed separately, now taken down). Perhaps trying a secret switcheroo? Double check your boxes. Bottles had a lowercase j on the lid - which I think is their cheaper jimmy label.

Update: Your Wines claims wine is correct. "In order to reduce our carbon footprint, the warehouse has been re-using some of the outer boxes that we have on hand for packaging, however, that description on the box should have been covered or crossed out.". Guess we'll never know!

Any clues what is this JD #750 secret Chardonnay may be?

I just received mine and they are the same as your mentioned. Contacted Your Wines and received the same reply whilst I even didn't mention the cover wording are wrong. Highly suspicious. I don't mind using them as cooking wine if they don't taste good. Its just a bit rip off from this online store.

Trying to contact Montara wine regarding the identity of the wines from the screw cap.

Just wondered are all receiving the same wines?

Same here. I guess the proof will be in the tasting.
