FO Hart of the Barossa " special value " = now with screwcap. Cheers

To catch your ear if I could WanD thru all that undergrowth, let me just say that the capital input needed to purchase 12 at $10 or 6 at $20 is the same. But this is where it getz fuzzy. Personally I would expect the dearer to be at least twice as good in quality. Is this a fair assumption? I believe it is, so do some due diligence on the dearer ones and buy those. With the generous refund policy, it's a lot easier returning a six pack as well. Whatdyareckon WandD? Sage advice?

Understand where you're coming from in respect to quantity versus quality old chap but I set myself a challenge quite some time ago to delve into the $10-15 price bracket and that obviously makes me look like a cheapskate BUT it's the thrill of the hunt and all that! I guess the amusing thing is that to the casual observer the price we are paying with the likes of VM et al is for an expensive boutique product at a knockdown price (and the corollary to that is how cheated you would feel if you HAD paid RRP in some cases!)....

Haven't had the Fox+Hounds nor am I likely to after the lukewarm reviews it's garnered so can't comment.
The Hart I revisited last night having only cracked one from the dozen that landed a little while back. Whilst lacking some of the grunt VM banged on about (and Campbell Mattinson) it's certainly a very pleasant Friday night quaffer for the money and I'm not unhappy to have it in my cellar, I was trying last night to find the right adjective to sum it up and instead of approachable I came up with "cuddly". Sounds a bit naff I know, but it's so soft and rounded, nothing there to snag your cable-knit cardy on, I like it!

The first batch (under cork) was a failed export order. I guess this lot is from their domestic production.

This one sounds promising. Not sure where to start the speculation. "World famous winemaker" is interesting.

Hard to guess. Several Clare and Watervale rieslings are 12.5% alcohol, and Halliday red star.
VM have had Erin Eyes before ($25), but that is 12%.

I have my shipping notification for the Black Market 2013 Shiraz (that we think is the six foot six), but it does not say what the wine is. It's been a while since I bought anything from the fo, when did it change so you don't find out? They could be shipping me anything.

Go to Nexday's website tracking page and input your last name and VM order number (without the #) and you will get six foot six.

If you go to your VM profile/account and click on order history it might reveal it there despite it still being in transit (otherwise bmhchang has it covered!)

Pretty sure this is the Atlas Watervale Riesling.

 

[Whining&dining]

It's pretty obvious that this is a Haselgrove wine but am struggling to find any other salient details on the inter-web or FF https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/black-market-deal-shiraz-blend-2015 any of you forum stalwarts have any insight into this? Much appreciated, W&D

Looks like the new vintage of the Haselgrove Cul Stor. They had the 2013 previously for the same price.

"World famous winemaker" would be stretching it, but that does sound reasonable.

I may be hundreds of kilometres away WD, but I can sense an increase in heart rate, anxiety, the fear of missing out on this silly named red. Langtons used to flog the 13. Is that a good advertisement? And the numbers align nicely for you as if the angels above listened to your recent struggles and plight? And what you say Mr.Wilson as you stroll around your little apple island, with only a ball, or two, to play with?

The 2014 is a nice drop.

It's not a wine that's very well represented on-line so hard to trust the VM hyperbole and make a purchase....

 

[jasonking]

Cul Stor, I googled in gaelic is Treasure Goal.

You are so right! Well at least we all know now for sure.

Had my six pack of the Handpicked Collection Tassie Pinot Noir delivered and cracked one last night. At just $30 a bottle from VM It didn't disappoint at all. Delicate with a gamey complexity and enough summer fruits to provide great balance. Enjoyed it more than the '13 Seppelt Drumborg Pinot noir hat I also bought recently as this wine is a bot more balanced. Would recommend this if it pops up again and may buy more myself.

I like your very apt description of perhaps many pinots.....gamey complexity and balanced with summer fruits. I myself prefer the summer fruits to dominate, but I do understand the gameness or sometimes what's known as forest floor characters to come through. A tinge of bitterness can also encroach but balance is what we are all after. Nice comments dude.

Beat me to it, I'm hoping it isn't going to be a cul-de-sac!

It is very much a numbers game and the dice are rolling BF!
