Good rule to have. I've been disappointed by some older wines that haven't developed well (2009 Mitchell Sevenhill cab is a recent VM example) so I tend to be careful too. For the Mitchell, the review (91 points) was on the fence and the wine didn't go the way it might:

"Good retention of purple-crimson hue; the bouquet is fragrant, and like the fore-palate, has clear and attractive cassis and redcurrant fruit; after a mid-palate dip, savoury tannins come through strongly on the finish, needing to soften. The question is will they do so before the fruit fades?"

The 2008 Umamu cab merlot was a buy for me based on a good score (91) but a review that was positive about its ageing prospects, and I've been very happy with the couple of bottle I've opened:

"Strong purple-red; an intense, penetrating blend that pulls no punches; despite its power, the black fruit and briar characters are well balanced with each other and with the tannins; simply needs time"

Thanks Roshea and Tanark2. In the end, i ordered the last 11 bottles of the 2008 and topped up with 9 of the 2009 to get the free shipping. Cracka obliged to give me the $12.99 rate for all.

More Umamu at VM, as predicted.

A ‘10 Margaret River Cab Sauv rated at 96 sounds like a good buy....

Any ideas which wine this may be? Black Market Pinot Noir 2016 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia

 

[Rocket09]

So you bought the 17 from VM? So did I... it was the 18 they had recently that I missed out on. Always enjoy Riposte! Getting popular so maybe a future price hike. Great wine for the price agreed!

Yes the '17 for $11 a bottle.....buy of the year for me.

Keep us in the loop on these, it's been awhile since I had interest in a VM offer.

Will do. Hoping it's still available tomorrow. Haven't had a VM voucher for a while but might go anyway.

Tempting. I have their Terre à Terre Wrattonbully Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 which is delicious.

Our favourite girl is back in the park. Anyone tried the 2017?

Edit: Damn their marketing! Based on listing, this has been around since Oct 2018. My bad.

Not yet, though I bought some when it was offered in November.

This is new vintage from what I understand - you probably got 2015.

No, though I have both vintages. The 2017 might have been a broker offer in November if it wasn't listed then, but I can't remember.

Great, you can be our wine tester then.
