Probably still too rich for my blood at over $100 but it is a very nice winery.

Here is JH 95 points review Marcus Ellis

This is a new bottling for Chapel Hill, from a 0.8ha block of vines planted in '77 – the oldest estate vines – and carefully curated of late to produce a pinnacle bottling, presented in a hefty bottle. This is dense, deeply earthy, mulchy, anise-and-coffee-inflected wine, something crafted to reflect substance, gravitas. The oak is French, with a modest – for the ambition – 20% new timber, but likely the rest has seen only recent fills. It’s an impressive, intense, weighty and slightly heady affair with dark spices, moist tobacco and rum notes accenting the fruit. Although pegged back from the reserve styles of yore, this still feels in that mien.

And Tyson Stelzer review

The understated, etched front label declares 'House Block vines established 1977.' The oldest block of the estate, this 0.8 hectare vineyard has long been my favourite at Chapel Hill, painstakingly reworked over the past decade, and the result of its new incarnation is something to behold!

This is a dramatic presentation of the dark side of McLaren Vale, leading out with pristine, glossy blackberry and black cherry fruit, fresh liquorice straps, and the signature black olives and iodine seaspray of the Vale. For all of its towering magnitude, I love its refined air and its distinguished, slender, upright lines, framed in fine-boned tannins that unite intricately polished fruit with stunning French oak, confidently declaring the talent of Michael Fragos and his team.

The devil is evidently indeed in the detail! Drink 2030-2040.

Thanks. It just drawn my attention for the price that can be matched with the criteria slightly more than $300 with 2 bottles.

I think if you were genuinely in a hunt for this wine, then definitely.. grab it. But if you doing it because it optimizes cashback with the coupon, then you probably are buying it for the wrong reason. (This is the logic that I applied to myself to stop me from buying it!)

That's true.

Now the 2019 Shiraz Cabernet is on the chopping block, will it ever end?

Only when CW Wines' never ending supply of wine ends

How's that vintage ? And for Palmer ?

I wouldn't buy 2021 Bordeaux. Probably the worst year of the last decade+. Can't speak specifically for Medoc or the wine itself but 2022 was a generally much better vintage

Cellardoor.co birthday box seems inaccessible. Anyone see the price?
