It turned out my “Sophia” were damaged in transit. VM had resend a case.

I'm expecting my delivery for the Sophia tomorrow. Hope it all goes ok! Hopefully the condition is ok too as I returned a 2011 Sophia I bought from DMs as it was corked. Just couldn't pass on this VM deal!

Ouch, and they would have been travelling in some extremely hot weather over the last few days
were the corks still in the bottles, any seepage?

Don't know, but it is 100% accurate, so has access to internal VM site details. Best not to ask too many questions.

Not that I can see... Was planning to gift them in the first place, now, not so sure.

goddam_, after over 60 days of investigations, and an initial 'no CB' finding, I finally got the second CB on this. The saga finally ends!

OP: Vinomofo Wine Deals

You were lucky, I only bought 1 bottle, didn’t track, denied CB after the 60 day ‘investigation’. Not happy.

I'd try again with CB. I recently did that on the basis that none of their stock answers seemed likely right and they hadn't given me the actual reasons the vendor had supplied for declining, so I didn't have any info to go on in order to avoid a repeat. And of course I said that the availability of CB was the difference between my purchasing and not (just as a hint at the consumer law side of this). They 'reappealed' with vendor and I seem to have the money...

But of course, write the email quickly and move on - life is short!

Alta-Yarí Gran Corte Cabernet Blend 2019

This one means a bit more to me than the average wine. About two years ago (and what feels like a lifetime ago), I was lucky enough to be hosted in Mendoza b...

Anyone had this before? Do love my Argentine wines but can't say I've had many cab blends

PRE-ARRIVAL: Chardonnay 2018 – Black Market Deal #40701

While Tassie chardonnay is of course a big deal, in reality there is very little made. So when we land some good stuff, we get very excited. And this isn’t j...

PRE-ARRIVAL: Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 – Black Market Deal #40723



$59.90?



“Stand up and take notice, mof_s! We have a 19-year old vintage of a wine that Robert Parker considers to be the benchmark amongst Coonawarra cabernets. You won’t see this again, not here, not anywhere. I’ve tasted this exact wine a few times over the years and know that it’s not only in its drinking prime, but has a few years ahead of it. It’s that kind of wine...super dense with deeply concentrated fruit and a tannin structure to allow it to develop and mellow over a couple of decades. I’m not sure if we’ve ever had a wine with this much age and status before here at the ‘Fo. And I’m not sure we ever will again. What a find!”

Cellar Tracker has 2010 to 2015 and some comment of bottle variation and being past it’s prime…. Still very very tempting though

My guess would be Riversdale Estate Crater. I’ve tried a few of their wines, I think they are a pretty good winery.

Thoughts on that Howard Park cab merlot from anyone that has boomed? Cheers

Not a great review in JH, 92 points, quite a worked style, right price and area for that wine, but can't compare the alcohol as not quoted by VM, but think you are right on the wine.
