i think the new coonawarra secret shiraz deal is wynns black label shiraz.

Alc: 13.5 - tick
95pt by JH - tick
94 by JO - tick
$45 RRP - tick
iconic producer - tick
cellaring - its off by 1 year. but i think its quite close. so i'd give this one a tick too.

thoughts?

Black Market Deal Shiraz 2012 - Red Wine

Purchased this one yesterday, expect it later this week and will post the details.

Awesome thread to find, very helpful to identify the secret deals.

I also like the returns policy, helps my piece of mind

However it's not so price attractive.
DM $170 for 6 with free Saltram #1 - thats $24.28/bottle

yep, dan's offer appears to be cheaper. I would consider no.1 to be worth 2 bottles of the black label shiraz. so its 170/8 which brings it down to $21.25.

If it is the Wynn's it's one of the poorest secret deals they've ever had for savings.

This wine is regularly on sale at DM for around the $25 mark. So with Wish Card + Cash Back, I would expect to pay $21.75 a bottle. That's less than the $22.50 Vinomofo have it at and I don't have to buy 6 from DM or necessarily pay for the postage.

BAD DEAL! SHAME VINOMOFO SHAME!

How do you get to $24.28 a bottle?

DM deal 6 + 1 free Saltram for $170 = $28.33 a bottle for the 6 Wynns, plus the free Saltram.

Realistically, the Saltram is worth $50 (as per recent Vinomofo offers). So $170 - $50 = $120 for the 6 bottles. Therefore Wynns $20 a bottle!

Wish card and cash back?

I think I mentioned this in an earlier message. But yes, plus another 15% off. So $17 a bottle. Makes Vinomofo's offer of $22.50 look absolutely pathetic.

Ballpark figure $170/7 = $24.28

OT in that it is not an offer but OT because it involves Vinomofo - a suggestion for the 'Social Club' - how about we give some thought to a 'Vinomofo Night' where we arrange a dinner at a simple pizza / pasta restaurant something along the lines of Topolinos and each attendee bring a bottle of wine sourced from a Vinomofo purchase.

8 to 10 attendees or so each with a different bottle from Vinomofo and everybody could get to sample a whole range of wines.

I would take the lead and arrange this myself but am just too unreliable in that I never actually know month to month exactly what dates I may not be in the country - MEL CAN II is now shaping as a problem for me in terms of date but more of that later in relevant thread.

Just thinking aloud - worth pursuing?

Hmmm, and excuse to eat pizza or pasta and drink some wine in the company of the esteemed Cruiser Elite and his reprobate friends like penegal. Count me in

Bodegas Castano Solanera Vinas Viejas 2012

Beautiful. Finely balanced, very fine tannin, long finish.
Agreed with Parker Jr (94 points) "it tastes like it should cost three to five times as much".
I will be getting some more.

Been waiting for someone to give some impressions of this wine, thanks Jason.

Thanks for reporting back, appreciate your review too. Interested in this one as well. How would you describe the nose on this one? Cellaring potential?

Last week we need 4 hands to carry the Methuselah.
Now two hands will do. VIM latest offer.
