Hi All,

This is Howard Park which is on discount today. Personally a little tempted.

Has anyone tried?

Awesome, thanks! That's a handy site.

Hmm, so if the internet is to be believed:
1. 2004 was the last vintage (though 2008 is mentioned on Cellar Tracker)
2. This is not on Howard Park's website at all
3. RRP for previous vintages was substantially more than $25 ($25 is at the lower end for Howard Park)

Are we sure this is a Howard Park label and not something they're somehow involved in? (sub-label, export wine)

Has been (labeled) part of a VM mixed doz. I've no idea about the wine, just saying.

Simply Red 47.0

This bomb of a case goes from juicy-fresh to seriously savoury. From a glorious mix of mild and warm climates, there’s a red in here for every occasion. Brig...

Good catch. Ahh "Classic", the plot thickens. Sounds like it may be a budget range, "classic" certainly doesn't scream prestige. 4.1 on Vivino so far.

"Classic" Shiraz 2018 was in Simply Red 46.0. RRP $25. 3.6 on Vivino (10 ratings).

Interested to hear, how was your case damaged? As I have ordered a case too.

See below from VM, did not provide any more details:

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I've just heard from our couriers that your order of Red Blend 2011 – Black Market Deal #39435 was damaged in transit .

Luckily we've still got more of this one in stock, so I've processed a replacement case for you now. You'll receive a confirmation email for this new order in a couple of minutes but won't have been charged.

Sorry again about this, your new order won't be too far off! Any questions, please just let me know

I have similar incidents twice within 30 days (Sept and October) but no replacement as they were all out of stock. @YNWAJUVEN are you in Sydney and the damaged parcel was sent by Auspost?

The sophia box is six in a row , so very difficult to store and transport.

The sophia box is six in a row , so very difficult to store and transport.

What's more problematic is that the box isn't sealed and can easily come open during transport.

It's also very heavy! 4 cases could not be lifted by Dr Ralph!

Not sealed?!?! Can’t wait getting mine case!

 

[Dr Ralph]

There is a cardboard insert/loop around. But just lightly brushing that will open the box.

Mine came today and was sealed with clear boxing tape in both directions.
Perhaps they are learning from the issues reported above

Shout out to Dr Ralph for the recommendation

Being In Perth, this is exactly why I don't buy from mof_ for about six months of the year. No heat policy, no buy!
