I was thinking it's the Geoff Hardy pertaringa

 

[AnonymousCoward]

Not sure there are any other biodynamic producers in Red Hill? Either way, the terrior alone should make for a decent drop

I also think it's the Prancing Horse. Location (Red Hill South), viticultural guidance (Pascal Marchand is a winemaker), biodynamic etc. all seem to match up. Only discrepancy is the RRP

 

[AnonymousCoward]

Does anybody know what todays Black Market Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon 2014 is? I was hoping it might be FG bros and sisters. Thanks

Probably this one, since it says it's been up before:

Cabernet Sauvignon

Coonawarra

2014

$35

$10.50

I saw this as well, but the cellar life didn't quite match Hallidays which the Fo tend to use, so it through me a little. Either way I took a punt and will be happy enough whatever turns up.

Yep that looks like it, 160yrs of wine making....

2009 Leconfield Cabernet is mighty tempting! Got a fair bit of 2010 and 2012 in the cellar, but no 2009. HH gave it 4.5 stars also.

I found many 2009 south Aussie wines to be better that the 2010's, but I await my fox Gordon king Louis in lieu of this one. You can't have everything......oh yes you can.

Thanks for posting - I have been a bit slack with VM of late.

Price is okay given the bottle age. I would be interested to know where it has been stored (cellar door, or a 3rd party).

Notice the RRP is a bit inflated by the cellar door price for the aged ones.

Agree. Definitely not a bargain. I bought a case of the 2010 about 12 months ago and paid less. I too would love to know the storage history.

Give them a buzz, they might know. They're pretty good with Qs.

https://www.crackawines.com.au/product/2007-marchand-burch-margaret-river-great-southern-shiraz
http://huonhooke.com/wine/145451

however not sure if same as
https://www.crackawines.com.au/product/2007-marchand-burch-shiraz
which is great southern and rated 95pts in The Big Red Wine Book 2009/10, 94pts Winefront

interesting that cellaring is to 2017 whereas the 2009 was 2034
https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/mof_-secret-deal-shiraz-2009

edit: page now says 94pt winefront so they're the same

Only GSM which got 95 points at the 2015 Queensland wine show was this:

But that pricing is way off

EDIT: Sorry my mistake, its this one:

Re: mof_ SECRET DEAL Shiraz 2007

Halliday lists it in wine companion as Margaret River Frankland River shiraz. 2009 vintage was first decent vintage as noted by your cellaring notation checking back on other wineries seems 2009 onwards is better vintages from WA. I will pass

 

[qaz]

The email I got was a $75 McLaren Vale shiraz down to $35??

Known Pleasures, Shiraz, McLaren Vale

Noticed a couple of Marchand and Burch village level red Burgandies on offer in the VIM after dark sale. Pretty sharp pricing, but not sure I'm convinced, especially with the 2011 Vosne Romanee. Umming and uhhing about the 2012 Gevrey Chambertin though

any chance we could start giving links again for those who aren't VIMs?

in these cases,

Maybe clearing some stock as part of the buy-out by Brown Brothers.

note that Brown Brothers only bought the Innocent Bystander brand (including moscato) - not Known Pleasures, Mea Culpa, Giant Steps, vineyards, winery, etc.

Giant Steps have finally launched their own website too (http://www.giantstepswine.com.au/); I noticed last week that those wines were no longer showing on the IB website so the Known Causes link in this thread stopped working.

Came direct from the winery and has been stored by Leconfield, should be no worries there at all

Depends on the winery IMO. Reviews are helpful but which reviewer is better? I am a member of Vinomofo not sure where you get the links. My response was to qaz
