Links?Either of these any good for the price?

Yes. Without any hesitation.Either of these any good for the price?
I've opened the Reschke 2010 and enjoying.
I'm surprised it hasn't sold out yet, seems popular esp with the AMEX bonus.Yes. Without any hesitation.
Yeah, the Bollys. One tracked, 2nd under investigation.I’ve been told that Bollinger purchase didn’t track, being investigated. Did everything right, no code used. Saltywings, was it Bollinger that didn’t track for you also? Anyone else have an issue with this?

I used the app, still didn’t track. It’s pretty high end for VM, perhaps a different process? Both purchase and CC payment confirmation were delayed compared to usual.My Bollinger LGA purchase through VM didn't track through SB as well. Lodged an investigation. Will probably need to wait for 90 days....ho hum
For shopback, I think best to click through via the app, seems to track better. The website click through is a real Turkey shoot.
Any ideas on this one? Normally a Halliday Wine Companion search does the trick. But not having any luck.Fortified NV – Black Market Deal #39754
What do you get when you put the last grapes of the season, from the epic terroir of McLaren Vale, in the hands of a top notch producer? A 98 point fortified...www.vinomofo.com

Yes Patriti. Fortified chardonnay is a very nice drinkPatritti?
Thanks all - anyone tried it? Decent write up and the 98 is from Ned not Halliday (who gives out inflated high scores on the reg).Patritti?
Lol - I also sent that back too! I was just really let down by the Dragons Blood. It was a bland offering IMO, very little body or complexity for what should have been an ultra-premium. Maybe a bit of high price bias influenced my expectations too? IWhat was wrong? I recently had to send back another VM Chinese offering (Greenstone Copper Block Heathcote Shiraz) it lacked body and structure and despite the description was on a thin side felt a bit extracted and an average finish for my taste.
I would say that would have been part of the strategy of rhe ridiculous pricing. Another theme in common - both are made by Chinese owned wineries quite possibly destined for the Chinese market.Maybe a bit of high price bias influenced my expectations too? I
Definitely the Chinese factor. I have sent back 3 cases recently and they were not as descibed and you are also correct in terms of thin and insipid. Also they all had cork closures. No more Chinese wines for me. I wonder if all the failed export orders or made for China are under cork.I would say that would have been part of the strategy of rhe ridiculous pricing.

You're basically getting what you're paying with exports.Lol - I also sent that back too! I was just really let down by the Dragons Blood.

Powell & Son Riverside GSM 2018 would be my reco. It is a great brand (had their shiraz that is a top notch) and I bet that GSM would be a nice drop too.If you spot any amazing red quaffers that aren't shiraz (I'm fully stocked on that), I'd appreciate recommendations.

Thanks for the tip! I'm not sure if I'm convinced by "The splash of mataro adds a delightful medicinal undertone "Powell & Son Riverside GSM 2018 would be my reco. It is a great brand (had their shiraz that is a top notch) and I bet that GSM would be a nice drop too.
I have stopped reading and paying attention to Vinomofo razzmatazz and confetti descriptions/sales pitches long long time ago - it is just an annoying noise to me - only look at the product at hand and do my own research and DD.Thanks for the tip!

Delightful medicinal undertone?!
