Which mystery pack is this one? Thanks.

I think MIXnnn is the pack contains 1 x St Peters and 2 x Grey Label etc as revealed earlier.

This looks like Ulithorne Frux Frugis 2018 shiraz, anyone had it? Not a fan of GWD or buying 12 packs but this could be a good buy at $17ea.

If the listing as under screwcap is correct it may not be the Frux Frugis, I've only seen that under cork/diam. But you are right, the description is pretty much lifted from Frux Frugis on the CW Wines site. Frux Frugis Shiraz 2018

Last line of the tasting notes matches the description on the CW wines website as well as Blewitt Springs and 12 months of french oak. Ratings seem to match as well.

Cellaring:

Drink now or cellar 1-3 years

is a bit concerning

Took a punt on the actual mystery ones too and bought mixnnn and mixo. Much happier with the mixo! Mixnnn barely breaks par at $25/btl, sigh

What was in the mixo? Presume one of the pics from earlier but not sure which was which

This guy (I believe). At least it was the one I got - $160 for a selection I'm reasonably happy with. But obvs not at the level of those mystery box in a mystery box things from last yr... $27/btl is not bad for all but the grey label

Pretty good loot for the price

Sames as what I got. I'm likewise happy with it for $26/bot.

I assumed that it is 2022 edition of 1847 Wines

But it is puzzling to me as I am yet to see 2021 vintage and also they say "Never before offered at JDC" but it was offered by them in the past

I thought the same but have the same doubts.

Not 1847.
"$480" (it's actually $450) down to $50? What a joke.

It's curious that the wine is so new and newly listed that Google doesn't seem to find the TN even though the TN does appear on the winery site.

Hewitson 1853? ($450rrp and 99 points for 2021)

Hewitson 1853? ($450rrp and 99 points for 2021)

Very close, but no cigar.

 

[olympicwiz]

Very close, but no cigar.

Given your hint - it must be this one Hewitson Winery Barossa Valley

 

[AndrewCowley]

Hewitson playing silly games again. They did the same with the 'ungrafted' range.

Yeah, not sure if they have lost the plot or just playing games to see where it leads.

For me it means I'm unlikely to buy any Hewitson wines.
