Here here. I've just received a promo for $15 off my next order and free shipping. I can't actually find anything worth purchasing, even with that. There's some vin jaune that they're claiming a RRP of $200 down to $120 per bottle. The $120 is more like a reasonable starting price. I'd give it a punt, not in a six pack.
I'm looking for a case of red. Does anyone have an idea about these?

You pick the tough ones, I haven't found a confident match for any of those, even with the Sam Kim score there are no great matches and I don't have access to Winestate. My best guess for 32663 is Haselgrove Bella Vigna, but the 2018 only scored 94 from Sam Kim.

It’s a great drop, big, rich, and lovely integrated oak. Some are saying that the oak is overpowering and dominant. In my view it’s a well balanced & delicious drop, especially for the priceI couldn't help myself just boomed, sounds right up my big-wine-drinking alley
3 cases ordered and delivered. Dom Torzi is an excellent winemaker.

I have just received a dozen of the black market deal 34741 rrp$40 on sale at $12.50. Sam Kim 95 pts. Its a CW brand 2017 barossa shiraz and apparently a cancelled export order. Vinomofo says its the same as the previously advertised black market deal 32450 which was identified as "Hollows". I am hoping it lives up to the Vinomofo hype......

Just tried the Black Market 34741 Barossa Shiraz. Probabably should have left it to settle for a few more days as it just arrived this morning. I'm not into describing wines as " hints of blackberries with overtones of hazelnut shavings with probable undercurrents of dried grasshoppers" so having said that I do like a good solid shiraz which you can easily tell is good or poor.This wine delivers the goods. Nice and smooth and easy to drink- Would stand up well at a dinner party. Not sure about the $40rrp but would be happy to go to around $25.Suspect it will cellar well for another 5-6 years at least. Overall I think a goodbuy @ $12.50 from Vinomofo and I would give it an 8/10 for my shiraz based palate......Hope this is some help to those thinking about it.

I opened up a bottle last night. My vocabulary for wine isn't very refined, but I can say this: I'm planning to order a second case.
It smells good, and it tastes good. I gave it a spin in the decanter, which I think it needed to open up, but once I did that it was enormously pleasing. The label says "finishing with fine velvety tannins" - I'm sure there should be a comma in there, but it sounds right to me otherwise.
