the 2012 maverick twins gsm is a ripper. had 2 of the case in december before it got hot and both really good. very true to the tasting notes offered. in fact, karel and kate, whoever they are are in my opinion pretty good at summing up the wine. As i have mentioned, at under a tenner, i think vinomofos consistency and ability to also find a stunner is amazing !! i hope you get some when it returns. i really don't think it will be if, rather when. Salute !

They said they'd have it in a few weeks, I'm definitely in and so is my mum (she took half my case of 2011 and has drunk most of it already, with our help).
 
I very much enjoyed the 2012. Have been on a self-imposed wine purchasing hiatus but will likely break when they restock it.
 
Not specifically a Vinofomo deal, but I would expect others here would like to know about it:

[TD]Dear QF WP,
In celebration of Chinese New Year, we are pleased to offer a case of wines, which display multi-regional craftsmanship from the acclaimed 2012 vintage. Available exclusively as a mixed case selection containing two bottles of each wine, don’t miss the opportunity to add these signature reds to your collection.

2 x 2012 Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz
99 points, Tony Love, News Ltd
97 points, James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion
96 points, Tyson Stelzer

Often referred to as 'Baby Grange', Bin 389 was first created in 1960 by former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert. Combining the structure of Cabernet with the richness of Shiraz, the 2012 Bin 389 is focused and fresh, exemplifying the balance between fruit and oak.

2 x 2012 Penfolds Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz
94 points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
94 points, Huon Hooke, Good Food
94 points, Ray Jordan, The West Australian

Bin 128 was first created in 1962 to reflect both the uniqueness of the Coonawarra and the elegant style of cool-climate Shiraz. A standout for its freshness and vivacity thanks to its age and upbringing, the 2012 release is an alluring blend of pomegranate, cherry and spice.

2 x 2012 Penfolds Kalimna[SUP]®[/SUP] Bin 28 Shiraz
94 points, Huon Hooke, Good Food
92 points, Tyson Stelzer

First created in 1959, Bin 28 offers a showcase of warm-climate Australian Shiraz – ripe, robust and generously flavoured. This latest release reveals an even and balanced palate, with berried fruits and assorted spices, accompanied by a nose that is honest and true to style. [/TD]

Received the same email. Did some quick calculations and figured on special you can generally find the 389 for $60/bottle and the 128 and 28 at $30/bottle. Hardly an amazing deal.

Ok, just checked DMs. Bin 389 $59 and the other two at $35/bottle.

Once again, Kalimna Club specials really are not very special at all.

Very poor deal. $200 is closer to what would be a good deal.

Bmhchang Can you advise what you thought of the Cruth. I bought a 6 pack last time it was on but haven't tried any yet.

Tried a bottle last night. Obviously it's still young and can do with some cellaring. For the price sold - ~$65 it's a decent price and compares well with other stuff I've bought at that price point (Clarendon Hills, Killakanoon). Definitely not worth $160 IMHO compared to what you get there. Heck, even stars like Eileen Hardy and the Octavius are 1/2 that price. I did have a bottle of the '06 Astralis the other night, and I'd rather have 3 bottles of that, vs. 6 bottles of the Cruth :)
 
Have no idea what it is but about to take a punt on the Black Market Mclaren Vale Shiraz $42.00 down to $12.60.
One of my friends is happy to share so worst case is I'm only stuck with 6.
