Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 - Black Market Deal #33764

Tried one of these tonight, not a bad Coonawarra at all. Pitty it's sold out or I would have grabbed some more. 2009 but still needs a good decant to open up.

Yeah, we were lucky enough to grab a second 6-pack after trying the first bottle. AusPost seems to be having a few issues with delivery though - it's original ETA was last Friday and it's still not here.
Can confirm it is the hollows. Was destined for Denmark.
Is this Handpicked?

The french Oak, blackberries and viollets definitely line up. I thought the Handpicked Heathcote Shiraz usually $70? The below link seems to be the previous vintage, the profile is exactly the same. Star Lane is Beechworth so not Star LaneIs this Handpicked?

BLACK MARKET Shiraz 2016
This shiraz comes from a producer really kicking some goals in Heathcote and, honestly, is crazy value on the Black Market. You’re looking at dark berry flav...

But no thoughts on the wine as I seldom buy Cabernet these days.
CWSA = China Wine & Spirits Awards if anyone didn't already know.
It's actually $240/6 ex-winery, not $50, the listing in wine-searcher at $50 per single bottle -> 404, a lack of coordination with VM showing.
any thoughts on this? expires soon!

I’ve unsubscribed from all VM comms, I got sick of the florid descriptions for EVERY wine, some I bought that didn’t live up to the excessive praise. Might give it a break for a while.

I've had one order this year, Rolf Binder Heysen Shiraz 2015 recently at a very sharp price. I just ignore the VM hype and do my own research, never buy a mystery wine unless I know what it is, which I usually do soon after the email arrives.

That's my modus operandi too RB, I think it goes all the way back to having some Rosemount "Little Berries" palmed off on me and other unsuspecting AFF punters as a BM deal (after some particularly fanciful descriptions on their behalf) that convinced me to do my due diligence... Having said that I am finishing off the evening with a glass of the Cosmos Yarra Valley Shiraz 2016 Reserve courtesy of VM and it is an exceedingly nice drop which has somewhat redeemed them in my eyes

I almost bought that a couple of times, good to know there are some good wines still. I ended up buying the Monterra, hasn't arrived yet though..That's my modus operandi too RB, I think it goes all the way back to having some Rosemount "Little Berries" palmed off on me and other unsuspecting AFF punters as a BM deal (after some particularly fanciful descriptions on their behalf) that convinced me to do my due diligence...
