the filsell 6bottle deal of the 2013 I found thru the dan murphys forum on aff.......again, it was $20 a bottle free delivery. And what a beautiful wine the Filsell is. I haven't had one for that long but this had ripe cherries, a bit of smoke, full and sweek vanillan oak.A long mouthfeel, elegant, not too bitey tannins, and not too huge. Just supurb.
whilst on that, received my Fox Gordon cabernet 2014 brothers and sisters. Dropped into a mates on the way home for a sample. Stayed for sinner...you know the story. Simply beautiful. Such elegance in a wine that I thought would be barossan and ballsy but turned out to be ultra smooth, not tannic in the way some read wines to last -( bottle says ten years in it !) - just absolutely moorish. Great fruit character mainly young berries, but what is impressive is the clean inviting nose that damn well delivers. From front to end !!! I think if this comes back on for $10.50, grab some folks. Is it beter than glenlofty - I think so. Is it better than fox and hounds - both extremely close, both beautifully made wines. This has more elegance. This is what VM are about. Great inexpensive vinos.
