Vinomofo Wine Deals

[redbigot]

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and have been recommended by a friend to try the Vinomofo Black market Deals (my usual haunt is Nicks). I'm a little vary of buying 6 bottles at a time, for something I have no idea what it is.
Can anyone advise for or against (and I realise that preference is very individual - but I would prefer to avoid any known flops)
Black Market 37648 Shiraz 2017 (Identified by someone on my Forum, not by me, so no info from me here)
Black Market 37425 Shiraz 2018 ( Schoolhouse Shiraz 2018)
Black Market 36884 Shiraz 2018 (Is Pertaringa OTT)

Black Market 37576 Cabernet 2018 ( Jim Brand 'Domain' Cabernets 2018)
Black Market 36356 Cabernet 2018 ( Probably Schoolhouse Cabernet Sauvignon 2018)

Any advice would be welcome

Wills Domain Paladin Hill Margaret River Matrix. Export version under cork.

Any thoughts on this one RB? I see JH score of 95 and Ray Jordan? 97. Tempted to get it to diversify away from Shiraz!

There's no such thing surely

It's under cork.
I'm too old to be buying Cabernet, my partner won't drink it under about 15 yo.

That was a nice deal when coupled with cashback. I got some Jim Brand Domain cabernets blend (rrp $85) for close to $21 a bottle. Am loving cabernet blends at the mo but won't hesitate to return it if it's rubbish...

Feels like there's increasingly good buys around again after a bit of a lull. Was planning on saving up for an EOFY splurge given last year's insanity but I kept giving in!!

Any ideas what this is?

Hmm, my crystal ball is a bit dim, maybe a kiln in a grove?

Go for it!!! Wills Domain make great wines. Don't think of it as a 100 wine and you'll be fine. Their cabs can be drunk fairly young 3-8 years. Then they go to sleep before coming alive 15yrs+.

I pulled a trigger on it yesterday during that $35 off plus a free delivery special. Will try a bottle when it arrives and report back.
Just could not find any mention of it on Vivino that I thought was a bit strange.

It's a rebrand of the Cuvee d elevage Matrix. Very good wine at that price.

Thanks very much for clearing it up for me!

Yep, Paladin Hill is a rebrand of Cuvee d'Elevage. This Matrix is a very nice wine, tried this vintage at cellar door a few months ago and it got 3 ticks out of a maximum 3 on our scale, which is a rare occurence.

Hi team,
Would you have any idea about this current Vinomofo deal ?

Chardonnay 2018 – Black Market Deal #30905

This is a magical Mornington chardy from a winemaking sorcerer. It’s got ballerina-like poise and sublime balance. It’s medium bodied, with a nice fresh acid...

Halliday TN from December 2010: Massively proportioned with essency blackcurrant pastille and a huge amount of toasty new oak on the bouquet; the palate needs to be carved with a knife, as the tannin and fruit merely fight for attention; time may reward, but it will be a long time, and just hope the cork is a good one.

Thank you for the insight RB, I got 3 bottles (split in half with a mate - the nothingcompares2u is single time use it seems) - will report once I try it
