Mrs Rugby and I met a rep from Hentley Farm yesterday at a travel event and got to try 'The Beast' Shiraz. Not sure what vintage but it was very nice and the restaurant sounded great.

The Beast is a favourite of mine.

Occasionally a QF wine that one

Maverick Twins for the contraband?

Thanks for the heads up. Have been waiting for this and managed to jump in while it was selling fast.

You can ask them to call you when something is back in stock; I got a call about this one first thing this morning.

I actually did ask them to call when the Maverick was back in stock but no call as yet.

Mind you, I do hate the calls so it is a bit of mixed messaging from re call/never ever call

It's still available.

It's a bit quiet here.
Nothing to do with Vinomofo but here goes.
Henschke Hills of Grace new release. Any chance of it in Vinomofo??

No chance.

Hey everyone,

First post.

Love your work!

Love all the recommendations and reveals in this thread, really helpful and appreciated.

I just grabbed a case of the Barossa GSM, can't wait.

I hope to contribute and be involved in the future, cheers *raises glass*

Purchased last time it was offered and have just purchased again. Good stuff. 17%! Still at least 10 more years it could spend in the cellar.

I took the bait.

I tried a few Greenock Creek, Alices and Apricot and like them though not 2006.
However alcohol is 17% and hopefully not overpowering.

Alices block is more "commercial" thus more yields than other blocks.
I will see if I can detect dolomite or "road tar"

Here's what Philip White said:

The finish is as tannic as Yudnamutana dolomite, which is
generally used for road metal, so should not wear out with undue haste. Ideally, I’d wait at least ten years.

Bought a case. 2006 vintage from the barossa is irresistable.

I know you wont be disappointed. I've had a couple from my previous purchase and will be cellaring this new lot for at least another 5 years.

This is cork closure and Greenock Creek wine closure is now all CORK. This seems to be going against the trend.
I take it for granted that they are using the highest quality cork.
Just recently I have Torbreck Factor 2003 and no cork soaking at all. Perfect cork.

Just me watching grass grow or paint dry.

Notice so many purchases of Alices are female, Fiona, Natalie, Carmel, Jemma, Louise...
I have to change my perception of Shiraz and female drinkers.

I had the Alice a few years back - can't remember which vintage, though. Was HUGE with alcohol off the scale..... so big, we could have had it with a knife and fork. Personally, I would give it a miss, but if huge alcohol levels are your thing, then get it.

Not surprised. Vinomofo rarely offer quality aged released reds at reasonable prices. Last year they had some 2000 - 2004 Darenberg Coppermine Road, which I jumped all over.

Don't know what you paid for the Coppermine but if around $35 you might still get them here,
