I should really pass this thanks on to a friend of mine who works at Chapman Grove and was kind enough to being the Atticus to a tasting. Then at another tasting had a sneak mini vertical of the Atticus to try

Won't be purchasing, as much as I'd like to try it, I cannot justify $300.

Confirmed with VM that this is a grey import. Thanks, but no thanks.

forced by this forum to sign up after long time lurking
so far only got the 2012 Shiraz Black Market Deal recently delivered which was the Fox Gordon Hannah's Swing 2012

Was just looking at the Braydun Hill's Reserve Shiraz... but all gone so quickly!

If it sounds too good to be true...
Does grey import necessarily mean = inconsistent storage conditions?
Then again official import doesn't necessarily mean optimal storage conditions once it arrives at the retailer..

Doesn't imply it, but I'd imagine you have even less recourse should the product not be up to scratch. You hear stories of grey imports that were originally destined for country A. For whatever reason, deal falls through and then shipped on to Australia. In the mean time its sat on the docks in an unrefrigerated contained for how long?

In short, I just see it as too much of a risk.

Whilst I agree, don't VM have a very generous return policy? I'm sure if it would cover cooked champagne!

Alright, I'm invoking a no Vinomofo month in September. If you could all kindly refrain from posting in this thread, it would be appreciated.

 

[Dr Ralph]

I'm out as well. We're having 'povo September'. It's the third year in a row. Povo September = no unnecessary purchases for a month! Time to clean out the fridge, freezer, cupboards and wine cellar!

I might just make up the deficit for you two
