Hello! Just wondering if there’s any opinions out there re Archery Rd Longbow or Bullseye. Big discounts, could be too good to be true!

 

[kenvinhealey]

Well that was a decent end to the day, just landed a bottle of the Grange. Can't say I'm hugely keen for it would anyone be interested in it at cost?

I'm interested.

I think that “big discounts” is a misleading tactic by VM. I bet that CW wines have not sold a single bottle at stated RRP. Just add a glowing Sam Kim review, come up with unrealistically high rrp, apply a massive discount, list on VM. Rinse and repeat.

I was very underwhelmed by the Bullseye - lacking any depth and seemed flat IMO. Can’t comment on longbow. Better off trying the R.S.R with a voucher

Couldn't get any of the codes to work. Gave up on Reschke 2012, went for Qantas 2016 instead. I doubt the taste will be as wide as 50% price difference.

The schild estate magnums were sold out earlier but appear to have some stock again:

Schild Estate Shiraz 2020 - Magnum (1.5L) - 1pk - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia

We love our bread, we love our butter. But most of all, we love an estate shiraz from a Barossa icon.

www.vinomofo.com

Edit, nvm... gone again

Didn't participate in the orchestrated mayhem yesterday, too much on plus our local pharmac_ had run out of incontinence pads. As far as the Schild goes, I've just about finished the dozen of the 2020 Schild estate I received from VM a little while ago, fruit-forward and a decent quaffer at the (very) reasonable price. The 2020 Schild Estate Old Vine Shiraz landed yesterday and is several steps above on the taste totem pole, big-hearted and dark-fruited this is peak Barossa - highly recommended!

Opened the Serafino Sharktooth 2016 last night and after a 3 hour decant, decided to bite the bullet and taste. Unfortunately I am with the majority in their opinion of it and will return the remaining 5. The first time I have ever returned wine to VM. That is how disappointing this wine is.
I barely noticed any nose on it and as others have mentioned, there is no fruit to speak of along with a high alcoholic after taste.

Thanks. It still works

ya can try 3PRV2ZN

 

[AnzacPaul]

Just had a first sip of the 2015 Sharktooth under cork. 6 hour decant.

Massive wine, after 8 years it's still full of life, but i feel that is to it's detriment, right now. Still very hot and full of alcohol. There's no tertiary flavours yet.

I wouldn't say it's unpleasant now, just very big. I expect as my palate softens over the evening it will get better.

I'm thinking in 5 years or so this will be a corker wine.

 

[Whining&dining]

Would love to have had that experience from the 2016, never mind them's the breaks....

Thx. Already went for reschke 2016 for $99 before seeing your post. If VM got any other deals that are worth buying

 

[Learned_One]

Is it just me, or is it that the Fo's advertising campaign is becoming more histrionic by the day? Some of the guff they're serving up on email at the moment is laughable.

Thanks! Is there a 2017 version? 2017 is a better year accordingly Langton.

97 Points Special Value, Top Rated, James Halliday​

Hand picked and sorted; aged in French oak for up to 20 months; best barrels selected for final blend. Smashing wine. This cabernet has come from the best address in town, but it doesn't make a thing about it. It's elegant, it's long and precisely sculpted, and its varietal expression is one of extreme purity.

From the original 1973 plantings, this has aromas of violet, cassis and blueberry with roasting herbs and bracken also in the mix. The palate has impressive energy and focus – blueberry and blackcurrant flavours, dark plum and chocolate.

One of two cabernets released under the new brand and I particularly love this stylish wine. The difference between this and the Karridale cabernet is most noticeable with the Wilyabrup providing a wine with more generous body and weight through the palate. But in both cases the wines present as more medium bodied with an effortless, generous but silky-smooth mouth feel. This was the year of tannin in WA, yet these have been expertly managed to sit snuggly within the palate. Bright and alive with the structure and fruit intensity to handle extended cellaring. Drink: 2023 - 2035. 96 points Ray Jordan winepilot.com, Feb21

95 Points ★★★★★ Recommended, Top Rank, Aaron Brasher​

A herbal, floral edge on the nose, with bay-leaf and a brambly redcurrant fruit character. There is a prettiness and lift to the bouquet. The flavours are mid to heavy-weight, with a briary blackcurrant drive, with some dark cherry and brambly elements coming through as well. The tannins are firm, fine-grained and give this stylish, sophisticated wine a long and structured finish.

A well-built wine with a readiness to age seeping through its veins, this Juniper Cornerstone is an excellent layered Cabernet full of interest. The vines were planted 1973 and the site is unirrigated and sustainably farmed. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot (86.5/4.5/4.5/4.5), it saw 16-21 days on skins and spent 18 months French oak (50% new). Deep and concentrated, it is highlighted by blackcurrants and black fruits. Engaging savoury characters of char and licorice hitch a ride with dried sage and bay leaf coming in late. A drying wine with dusty tannins, a secondary feature of exotic spice unfurls and perseveres through to a long close. It's one of those wines you can cellar and forget. Just brilliant!

Deep crimson. Developed blackcurrant, tobacco leaf aromas with dark chocolate notes. Velvety textured wine with plentiful blackcurrant, tobacco flavours, some earthy notes, fine grainy tannins and mocha oak notes. Finishes grainy/cedar firm. Very good complexity, generosity and finesse. 86.5% cabernet sauvignon, 4.5% malbec, 4.5% merlot, 4.5% cabernet franc. From 2022-2034 Margaret River Regional Journal 2022

Thanks! Really looking forward to this one! Hopeful we will get a better consensus than the Serafino Sharktooth

I cracked 2010 Reschke Empyrean Cab Sav I got from Vinomofo about 2 years ago last night. Amazing wine, definitely the best Coonawarra Cab Sav that I ever had. Tasted better than I recall 2 years ago and probably could go on cellaring for 10-15 years more with ease.

I noticed there is 2014 on sale on VM and wondering if anyone tried it?
