Vinomofo Wine Deals

[Dr Ralph]

Looks like the 2011 Shiraz Black Market Deal ($160 down to $48) is the Hazelgrove Cruth. Didn't this pop up recently?

Haselgrove?

2011 and 2012 Cruth have both been on this year from memory. The 2012 cost more because it was a much better year.

In fact there have been many deals involving Haselgrove Wines so far this year. I recently opened a bottle of the 'Old Nut'. Impressed.

 

[jasonking]

Yeah its a recycled deal.

Old deal new promotion.

as in:

Old wine new bottle

All this red chat..

Please pretty please Vinomofo can we have some more Atticus.

+ A million to this. Absolutely beautiful wine and worth every cent.

Is it just me or is there no obvious way to log out of a VM account?

You need to use the menu on the upper left to logout..

Click on the Menu button, then go to the My Stuff column, and down the bottom should be a link to click on that says Logout.

Alternatively, got to https://vinomofo.com/logout

Thanks. Definitely not quite obvious.

Yeah. I kept ordering under the wrong account, so it took yonks to get VIM status At least the rest of the family, including our dog, could make good use of their $25 joining credits.

Anyone worked out the latest VIM deal yet ($130 down to $65):

"At the ‘Fo, we keep it real and we don’t go around saying that every single wine is “the best.” What happens though when a wine comes along that’s light years ahead of the pack? Well then, mof_s, we can say that it is “the best” and guess what? This is the BEST.

In my four years at the ‘Fo, I can safely say that this is the BEST deal that we’ve had on a super premium Cabernet. I am basically waiting for Donald Trump to give me a call to congratulate me. While this is of course a secret, I’m happy to share that this iconic label has an RRP of $130. That means you’re getting $65 off per bottle, $390 off per 6 pack, $780 off per dozen or $7800 off per 10 dozen (if you’re a Sheikh or billionaire or something). Scoring 97 points from Halliday, 96 from both Huon Hooke and Ralph Kyte-Powell this is just not ordinary Cabernet, this is a beautiful expression of Cabernet. It’s elegant and fresh with loads of concentration, muscular tannins, great length and power.

This is a wine to contemplate on. A wine to cellar. A wine to give as a gift or keep for yourself. This is a wine to buy now as this is never going to happen again."

Many things match (multi region, RRP and critics scores), but right alcohol? DM's have it at 13.5%

https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_85720/hardys-thomas-hardy-cabernet-sauvignon

Although listed here with 14.1% and the matching critics scores for Halliday and Kyte-Powell are displayed:

http://www.mycellars.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1419

On balance, I think you're probably correct. And I'm in because this is an excellent wine.

this website here: Hardys Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 | Wine Review | Good Food says it 14.1. Uncle Dan might have uploaded the wrong details.

Roses are RED
Violets are BLUE
If you are thinking Thomas Hardy
You are CORRECT-A-MONDOO!

From Dan's:

 

[Rocket09]

Damn, I just don't have $400 to spend atm (well I do but just not on vino), wish it was in a 3 pack deal. CM only gave it a 94 according to DM which is interesting.

Rocket ... Find someone to go halves with. Occasionally I'll buy a dozen or a 6 pack from Vino and split it with someone at work.

 

[AnonymousCoward]

Anyone know if this comes in a timber case?

I do have a few people that will take some wine off my hands but that is usually black market stuff, don't have anyone to share more expensive wines with unfortunately.

Thomas 2012 scored a 86/100 Bronze medal in the recent 2015 Royal Sydney Wine Show, under "Class 28: Cabernet Sauvignon v2012".
Was there some "misalignment" with the judges and their taste preferences vs JH and HH scoring system??
Interesting.

 

[beefarmer]

The elephant in the room here is the Amelia Reserve shiraz 2012, Recently this took out a gold in London in late '14, and consequently, is awaiting the next stages of judging. Anyone tried one yet as she was pretty hot to trot? And a tasting comparison with some recent purchases?
