Thanks heaps for posting this. Have been wanting a dash of it for the cellar since it hit around this price in small amounts that I missed out on at vintage cellars during the covid write down frenzy five years back. Very pleased to nab a case, particularly the '18 given it carries a JH//HH confluence at 96pts.

Of course, the continued huge discounting of blass n burge etc primo wines does make me wonder what's going on here.

From the email (emphasis is mine):

56.4/43.1/0.7% cabernet sauvignon/ shiraz/other, from vines aged 20–120 yo. Matured 18 months in 18% new French oak hogsheads, then barrel selected. One of the most exciting modern additions to the extensive Grant Burge portfolio, a cracking rendition that epitomises the integrity and endurance of the great Australian blend in the Barossa. Impenetrable in depth and vibrant in hue, contrasting blackcurrant and blackberry fruit density and a crunch of vibrant energy. Super-fine, commanding tannins, great fruit drive and high-class French oak make for impressive potential. Drink to: 2048; Price: $100.00; Date Tasted: Feb 2019; Alcohol: 14.5; Rating: 96 Points; James Halliday Wine Companion

Thanks and also thanks to @redbigot . Boomed on a case, too, and sharing with friends. 2018 Cab/Shiraz makes it difficult to not to buy

Carpe Diem is on. Nothing of great discount to tempt, thankfully.

I reckon the 6premium mixed shiraz at $149 would be a better punt for variety from them.
I do remember a pyrenees shiraz from the Fo years ago that was sublime but I only managed 2 botts. Winery escapes me...

this does sound like a cracker indeed, and a JH 96 is good. But it did leave me to think how much do you need to see at normal retail pricing for a wine to get a JH 97 or 98? We are talking the richter scale here where every point has to infer a wine that is at least fifty per cent better than the number below. Consequently the Nebu at one hundred dollars ain't cheap but you can get plenty of good Shiraz at 96JH for thirty five bucks on special say when normally about $50. So the value equation to me seems a bit out of whack. But scores to some are scores to others. I am sure that Sam Kim would score this higher judging by past comments made. Maybe another Aussie judge would give in 92, another 95. it's so tricky however for under $30, I do not think you can go far wrong. I still can taste the absolute awesomeness of the 2009 Meschach which got my best wine of 2016 award. So what did it beat you ask. Hungerford Hill Gundagai 2013 shiraz,Hoddles Creek Top Paddock Pint 2015 at twelve a bottle if you don't mind umpire, Epsilon tempranillo 2015, Kakaba reswerve Shiraz 2013 and in sixth, Driftwood from double you aye semillon 2016. I love these drives down memory lane at time.

A few good ones ...

Lindemans Limestone Ridge 2021 $30
Highbank Coonawarra 2014 $20

Not having their own winery, the Vices employed the services of top winemakers outside the region, first taking their fruit to Trevor Mast at Mount Langi Ghiran, over the border in Victoria, and, since 2004, to Paul Drogemuller at Paracombe in the Adelaide Hills.

I have long admired the Highbank wines. But the current crop, reviewed here, and the next couple of vintages in the pipeline, are superb. You should buy them, drink them, put them in your cellar. They're some of the best Coonawarra wines – and some of the best Australian cabernets – you can find.

Take it to the bank. I think your High will sell out.
Kevviek, you couldnt go half on a case could you?
If so, I am in. I don't have an account.
Meet you same place as eight years ago.

Pls show when it arrives so I can cry. Probs a mix of top and middle shelf I reckon, having slept on it and woken up with FOMO

Arrived today, I’d give it a yeah it’s okay rating. The Lindeman’s and the Balmoral Syrah are ones I’ve been meaning to try so that solves that.

Some good BWS clearance for premium shiraz in Vic.

Just snagged Shaw and Smith Shiraz for $32.50 (grabbed them all, sorry), Henschke Henry's Seven for $21, Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz 2016 for $60, Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2019 for $79. It's a little painful as you have to collect from most stores.

Used this site to located which stores have what.
