its the 2012 of the Brookland Valley Premium/Estate

You were correct, just arrived, put in freezer for 30 mins, quaffed half a bottle with bread roll, smoked salmon and avocado for lunch. Feeling quite compleat.

My spies agree with this that it is Churchview Estate St Johns Limited Release, 16.0% a/v.

FYI - My tasting notes on the 2011 (bought through VM)

Nose of red berries with a hint of cedar wood and earthiness. Not a massive nose though but enough on offer.

Mouth is interesting. Palate is medium weight and quite well rounded, yet still has a hint of syrupiness to it (but not in a bad way). Bright fruit flavours, heaps of acid and a hint of spicy vanilla (American oak perhaps?). Very little alcohol heat which is impressive given the 16%! Medium to long finish.

Will be interesting to see how this progresses over the years.

86 points.

Anyone have any ideas on this sparkling Black Market for $9? Looks interesting.

The mixed Black Market case has arrived - I'll update shortly on it's contents!

Thanks for the invite maybe the remainder could be sampled

You will be pleased to note that the remainder of that bottle was sampled today - found to be as good as the first half.

I had the Rogers & Rufus out at a dinner a fortnight ago paired with goat curry. Thoroughly enjoyed and grabbed a case when it came up on VM a week later. Planning to cook a goat dish when the case arrives.

Thanks for the feedback.
I have had goat but don't remember ever having a goat curry. Perhaps I should try a R & R with a lamb rogan josh or korma.

If you haven't had goat curry you really should, highly recommend!

I've also drank the Rogers & Rufus Rose - it was a random pick at my local IGA a few months ago on a hot Friday night. Drank it with friends and a steak sandwich I cooked - enjoyed it.

Didn't see it on VM - damn! What price was it?

EDIT: a quick google search shows VM were selling it for $7.50 a bottle 2 weeks ago as a mystery deal. Damn! Absolute bargain for a cracking rose. Think I paid $24!

Pretty sure this is the Diva NV Sparkling Pinot Chardonnay from Chain of Ponds in the Adelaide Hills.
VM have had at least one of their of their wines in the past (The Cachet 2006).

Another VIM deal popped in my box today, Patrick Grande Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2006:
Patrick Grande Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 - Vinomofo

Doesn't tickle my fancy but in case anyone else is interested.

So have anyone been brave enough and purchased the '98 Krug?

So have anyone been brave enough and purchased the '98 Krug?

I bought a bottle about 4 weeks ago. It wont be opened though until a very special occasion occurs. From memory it will go for another 10 years, so I'm happy to sit back and wait.

 

[tgh]
