It's the Bethany Reserve GR11 Shiraz. I think they released some in the end of May and have done so again today.
Thanks for the quick replies, I just found the old posts
That 2014 BM Shiraz is lofty isn't it?
Did anyone purchase the Bethany last time it was offered, and if so what's the verdict on the wine?
[EDIT:] Sorry Tim ... just saw you posted the same question.
I've had a couple of bottles and it's a very nice wine! Having said that, though, there's no way I'd have paid $120 for it and would consider it to be more in the $50-$60 range. Still a very good bottle for the price they're selling it for. Be interested in hearing the thoughts of others that have tried this one too.
Agreed. It's silky smooth, but lacks a bit of character, I thought. WC notes indicate RRP of $85 and drink by 2016 (tasted in 2010). It definitely seems to be near the end of its drinking window, and being under cork, I'll definitely be drinking the remaining 5 bottles this year. Bit pricey for something that doesn't have much ageing potential.
Tasting notes suggest 10-15 years... could go either way.
