Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[WrenchHammerMcTool]

Looking forward to more deals. Platinum and Wynns Michael on its way. Hope everyone else hates Shiraz.

I just wish they do the '21 John Riddoch at $70.... can dream

How do you compare this with standish?

Edit:
Don’t worry, I have pulled the trigger.

I found Standish more elegant and not as concentrated as Platinum. Both are excellent IMO

Highly recommend this, world class dry riesling. Just bought some myself so thanks very much for the heads up

Might have seen the last of the WB Mystery Packs with TWE pulling the sale of WB, Lindemans etc..

Penfolds maker Treasury Wine rules out axing unpopular cheap brands

Wolf Blass, Lindemans, Yellowglen and Blossom Hill were on the chopping block – but failing to find a buyer at the right price, Treasury Wine will keep them.

Or we might see more of them? The current lot would probably have been after they made this decision.

 

[kevviek]

Yeah, I've bought 3 dozen at this price previously, mostly to share with friends, pretty good value at that price.

2021 Prospera? I got mine yesterday, had one tonight and it reminded of the wines that usually get served at weddings. I wonder if it will get better with time.

I had a few glasses tonight. Definitely a good value quaffer

Could imagine that they clean up a bit of the WB portfolio. Struggle to understand how you can have a $5 wine next to the Platinum..

Interesting, the reviews here

Ulithorne Prospera Shiraz 2021

are nothing like what I got from the first one. Will reserve judgment until I’ve had another, it may have been the heat.

 

[WrenchHammerMcTool]

I'd take a punt at $300-400 for a Mystery Pack, but $2,500

Does anyone have any hints about the wines included?

 

[AUElwood]

In view of there are so many substantially discounted wines recently, I am not keen to those middle range wine packs. I guess they may include one or two bottles of 1847 or Hewitson.

12 x yaldara grand pappys can be claimed to rrp at $3800. Easy 'massive discounting' from there...

Even with the $18.50 freight it should be worth a crack at 75% off.

gone in 20mins! thanks for the heads up, managed to get some

 

[Hawk529]

Bargain of the year ………. Just not sure who was selling it for $2000+ a bottle

 

[accompanimince]

Anyone finally tried the Schild Estate Three Springs 2021? Skye Cellars has it for sale at $140.4/6 bottles

Just opened a bottle of this tonight and it's fine but nothing special IMO. Not good with tasting notes so I won't give any but won't be going back for more especially since they've upped the price to $216 for 6.

Thanks for the notes. I bought 2019 but haven't tried it and I was considering 2021 too. Maybe the way it is made, it requires some cellaring to get the most out of it?

Possibly, it did get better with some time in the glass. Might've just needed a solid decant, hopefully better on day 2. I think the problem with these crazy high RRP bottles is that they're never gonna meet expectations.

Might still be a decent buy through dozen deals if the unlabelled version is the same, can get it down to $115 in 6 with a code.
