Actually it’s a bit more. I paid $132 for 12, it’s now $150 for 6.

Nice, looking forward to trying the Ygay. I picked up 3 at the latest Dan's clearanceTheme last night was old world reds. When you have so many under cork, we did well with only the Gouges being horribly corked. The Ygay was WOTN and stunning. The Mongravey came in second

How was the Lowlands?
Quite stunning. $125 from winery. Vue du monde charged some $300+ one NYE. Sheesh. Then tried to overcharge by another $70. Last time. Never going again.
This is brilliant, half way through its life. Good fruit, nice spicy tannins.

From last night,
Mount Langi shiraz ,black fruit ,spicy ,pepper, still evolving ,smooth,a good length,will open another bottle in 5 years,probably open a St. Peter to compare next time.
Voyager Estate Shiraz, bought these 2 from dan Murphy on release ,it’s either this or the cape Mentelle(bought both).
07 still quite bold and tight through out the night , mix berries ,herb spices ,still holding up on the young side,very good tannins and acidity,very balance.
08 is more mature than 07, light red fruit,pepper and spices all around ,this is good to go, screwcap might kept it for
another 10 years , but why wait?!

Thanks for the notes. Was looking at my Mount Langi 05 the other day wondering if it’s time to drink it, I’ll wait
If you have more bottles, you can always drink one, just decant it before hand, I don’t decant much as we usually sit and drink for a few hours sometimes all day long. And of course good weather like today always helps.
Only one bottle left from that year. Back then all my purchases were from cellar door and even $60 which I believe was the RRP seemed a bit too dear.
This is the only vintage I have left for mount langi, I turned to cliff edge shiraz from 06 onwards, better value and still is.
I stopped buying in 2012, that’s when Mount Langi price suddenly doubled IIRC. Agree about Cliff Edge.
I enjoy the Cliff Edge Shiraz. Is there are regular source for good prices on it? Does the Rathbone Group have a cellardoor.co/cellarone equivalent albeit on a much smaller scale? Dan's has a member special @ $252012 was the one gone over $100, there’s a $10-$15 increase since the 07. Which makes the cliff edge more attractive, I think it was less than $20 a bottle until the 2012 but at $22 a bottle for nearly the same quality wine which is a great buy.
