Vinomofo Wine Deals

Watch out for your fine old wines.
Two Hands Deer in Headlights 2002 shiraz, cork shrink (but not broke) which allows seepage.
Wine still OK though. Not from Vinomofo but a few Two Hands wines have been offered lately.

Anyone able to advise on todays restocked 2006 Barossa black market Shiraz $120 down to $36
 
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.
 
Took the drop. Sigh. I need a second job to pay for all this wine.
EDIT: on the Bethany that is.

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.

Look at it as though somebody else has stored and aged it for you :p

In general, I dont keep wine for more than about 10 years anway. Given my facilities it's not worth the risk.
