Vinomofo Wine Deals

[jasonking]

Certainly a tough one. Maybe you can ring them saying you've bought it, now tell me what it is....

That will spoiled the sense of anticipation and surprise. No No

is the mclaren vale 2012 shiraz at 40 normally, the hewitson mad hatter?

The Mad Hatter alc/vol is 14% so it's not a match.

 

[botchee]

Sceptical it is the Brockenchack. The tasting notes do not mention, cocoa, coffee bean, or ridiculously long finish although everything else seems to match ?

I original thought Mitolo GAM shiraz but only 91 points from Halliday.

Vinomofo are a awake up to the super sleuths and giving out minimal info.

Here's my wild guess.

Brockenshack Jack Harrison Shiraz.
rrp $58

Is Eden Valley considered SA?
Alc 14.5% YES
94 points - YES
most expensive looking bottles?
Haven't seen it before in Vinomofo.

I like your sleuthing. Google pic search shows that wine's label stating both 'eden Valley' and 'Barossa'. Strange VM haven't chosen to highlight Barossa.

Think I kept a note on file with my VM rep for any Eden Valley reds, and I did get a missed call yesterday....

i too just bought a 6 pack...if it is the brockenshack, and if its not i really couldnt care less, then the slighly nerdy couple who own the show certainly have a nice pedigree, previoulsy selling their fruit to the money men. cheers !

My Guess is from Anvers, Adelaide Hills. The Warrior. Anvers website doesn't have the 2010 which is often the case when VinoMofo buy the lot. the 2009 is $58. And the bottle does look quite heavy.
The rest match up to obviously. 94. 14.5 and drink buy 2025. VM says 2024

 

[beefarmer]

the mad hatter 2012 sound like a stunner, but too much greed will get you....

 

[thommo87]

You get a tracking number??

I'd lean towards this as well. VM site says cork, Anvers is cork but Brockenchack is not

This is JH note for The Warrior "A 61/39% regional blend that spent 21 months in French oak. Deeper and denser in colour than its less expensive sibling; while equally full-bodied, the black fruits are rounder and more supple in the mouth, the tannins finer. The quality of the corks does not inspire one to think either wine will reach its full potential."

I think you are right.
The bottle sure looks expensive.
And it's multi regions, Adelaide Hills, Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale, hence SA.
My money is on you.
Great deduction.

Unfortunately they are also ( I suspect sometimes deliberately) publishing incorrect information about the wines.

Could be mistaken but I'm not convinced this is The Warrior.. the 2010 Anvers McLaren Vale Shiraz (if that's the less expensive sibling?) VM has is a stelvin and not cork...

VM actually has it as a cork...

Please ignore my earlier post...I've mixed VM's cryptics with JH's review and have confused even myself! Anyway, will find out what it is when my order is delivered..

I just saw a "Ralph just bought 1 case of this vino" on VM. Is it you?
But I didn't see my name. Is it just marketing I wondered?

 

[jasonking]

Isn't this bottle looks expansive.

I notice my name all the time pop up after I have purchased.
