Just musing whether today's mail-out Bendigo Shiraz Black Market Shiraz 2012 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia Is the Glenwillow 2012 Shiraz despite the Halliday rating being out of kilter? This is from their own website: "Trophy and Gold Medal for Best Shiraz 2012: Le Concours Des Vins. (French-Australian Chamber of Commerce Wine Show)Glenwillow 2012 Shiraz takes out esteemed prize out performing some of Australia's top wines! A seriously impressive wine award. James Halliday: Rating 95
And this is from a Bendigo Wine news item:
"Deep purple-red; the ultra-fragrant bouquet doesn't warn you of the wines formidable powder, but just when you think this may be too much, comes the realisation that the palate is beautifully balanced, and there is almost limitless supple black and red fruit under the power. Great now, it will become even greater with a couple of decades under its belt. Rating 96. James Halliday" Either way it sounds quite seductive...

As far as I know yes, but sometimes it's only listed on facebook or confined to a 4 hour window. The days not over yet

Hi W&D I reckon it's Turner's Crossing @ #29

I got free shipping today thru a VM broker.

Bought a dozen of the 2015 Little Yarra Pinot Noir that they have been offering for a while. They only have a few cases of the 2015 left. Already downed the 6 pack I bought in April. Beautiful stuff. Eclipses the Giants Steps and Hoddles Creek (both of which are great value in their own right).

95 TWF.

Damn I knew I'd get it wrong! It sounds pretty darn good to me but I'm over-stocked and over-committed at the moment

Is the Redman still under cork? It's a sentimental favourite but my last purchase had 2 bad bottles and went back...

Redman confirmed, and under cork.

 

[Rocket09]

Redman confirmed, and under cork.

Hmmm, I could of sworn it stated screwcap when I checked.

 

[redbigot]

Vinomofo are extremely sloppy at noting cork closures.

As I'm very cork-averse I tend to try one and send the rest back if they advertise screwcap and it is cork.

Still says screwcap online

I would be annoyed if they turned up and were corked.

There are worse things in the world. Also I am aware Redman still persist with corks. If they had of been a screw cap it would have been a bonus.

There is no more certain way of stirring the possums than raising the old stelvin versus cork debate
"Christian Butzke, a professor of oenology in the department of food science at Purdue University did a test where he opened 1,000 bottles of wine under cork and less than 1 percent of them had cork taint." from That '1 in 10 Wines Are Corked' Thing Is a Myth, According to Cork Organization this is also quite a good read: Wine Studies: What Is Cork Taint?
