Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

Based on this link (shiraz) I think the Daly's Cottage and unlabelled are the same wine.

Received unlabelled today and indeed the box is labelled Daly's Cottage (no labels on bottles, as expected).

Mount Avoca have added more items to the sale.

The 'Outstanding' Rockford Basket Press 2020

Do you guys think $160 a bottle of Rockford basket press 2020 a good buy? I know it’s a low yield vintage.

The 'Outstanding' Rockford Basket Press 2020

Do you guys think $160 a bottle of Rockford basket press 2020 a good buy? I know it’s a low yield vintage.

No. I'd buy one of the Standish reds instead and get a better wine for less money.

The 'Outstanding' Rockford Basket Press 2020

Do you guys think $160 a bottle of Rockford basket press 2020 a good buy? I know it’s a low yield vintage.

Interesting that when I click on the link, it proceeds to create an email with the following line

"X bottles Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2020 @ $149.99 ea or $139.99 in any mixed six **Strictly 3 bottles max per order**"

So perhaps it is $150 per bottle

Yes, I've got one on the way and that's better than I expected. Thanks

(And if you use the rrps ($330), as any good wine shark would, the price looks even better).

This wine is not made by Reschke. It is made by CW wines.

Yes, I have read about that before.
So its no longer what it once was and best to give it a pass?
The discounted price is probably what its really worth then?

it is hard to say without tasting it. However the asking price reflects the pedigree and banks the credit of the original Peter Douglas made Empyrean perhaps unfairly.

They don’t even reveal who is the winemaker!

All that said, 2014 Empyrean was pretty good.

Looks like MIXcc takes the cake this time! I'd be happy with that for $90
(WB Plat. and No.1 alone for $90 be reasonable value!)

So, the two the couldn't be identified straight up were pretty fine. I feel a strategy coming on
