Haven't posted in a long long time, mainly because I haven't purchased from the Fo for a long long time.

I won't be buying for a long long time after being delivered the Mornington Pinot they had going. Black Market Pinot Noir 2015 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia

It's rubbish. Thin, acidic and flat. The Halliday 94 score confirms my belief he's officially gone crazy.

Which Pinot is it George?

The Halliday 94 score confirms my belief he's officially gone crazy.

Halliday score re-normalisation system:

Subtract 2 to 4 points to get the score a sterner critic would have given.
Subtract 10 points if it's an Australian Pinot Noir.

Simples!

Interesting observations.

I presume this is the 2015 Trofeo? I had a bottle last night with my wife. We both liked it. I don't have TN's and I didn't study the wine at all but it wasn't acidic to my taste. Certainly not a big Pinot but it's not supposed to be - not thin IMO. At first it was a little underwhelming but opened up pretty quickly. 2015 is generally a good vintage on the Peninsula so I took the punt and at $20 a bottle I am happy. There isn't much decent Pinot at that price.

Have you only had the 1 bottle?

After reading the Vivino comments via the link gxia I would love to take this baby for a spin around the block! Let's hope VM offer it again sometime soon...

Hope the winemaker isn't Baldrick.

It's certainly pretty cheap buying at $11.00 a bottle, I just wonder if it has quite the oomph of its slightly more expensive stablemate...

Black Market Grenache 2016 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia

Looks like the Chateau Reynella Basket Pressed Grenache

Any Views?

Black Market Shiraz 2013 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia

Always sceptical when reduced so dramatically but any ideas?

Black Market Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia
is Xanadu 2014 cab-sauv Cabernet Sauvignon | Xanadu Wines | Margaret River Winery, Wine Tasting & Restaurant
Not a huge discount at $25 a bottle, but certainly a quality wine

Black Market Shiraz 2013 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia

Always sceptical when reduced so dramatically but any ideas?

My initial thoughts are something by Maverick, possibly a Trial Hill? The price point matches previous Maverick offerings. I'm not subscribed to Wine Showcase / Enthusiast though so not in a position to match scores.

Black Market Malbec Blend 2016 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia

$10.50 reduced from $33 I think this is Capel Vale but I can't find the exact same wine details anywhere so assume it might be a VM "special".

I wouldn't mind adding some Malbec to my cellar so interested in any thoughts. At the retail price there is an offering from Cullen which I daresay may be *slightly* better

 

[Whining&dining]

Hi Kevviek, I wonder if this is the one in question Capel Vale Cellar Exclusive Red Blend | Wine Info I've only sampled one of the Capel Vale reds in a VM mixed pack and from memory it didn't rock my world but YMMV....

Black Market Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia
is Xanadu 2014 cab-sauv Cabernet Sauvignon | Xanadu Wines | Margaret River Winery, Wine Tasting & Restaurant
Not a huge discount at $25 a bottle, but certainly a quality wine

Yes confirmed as mine arrived yesterday, agreed with the discount though my last few purchase didn't hit the spot for me so thought I'd give this a go. Not sampled as yet as currently my liver is on a detox

 

[grapes]

Agreed. I usually pick my xanadu for $30-33 when on sale in a mix pack so not a huge discount. Excellent wine but the Reserve CS is much better for double the price. Worth paying a little more.

Morning all,
Is this Blue Pyrenees Estate red?
Points seem to match.

Black Market Cabernet Blend 2013 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia

Bought this Black Market Cabernet Blend 2013 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia . It turned out to be Blue Pyrenees Estate red, which got 95 points from both Halliday and Huon Hooke. It is unbalanced and I decided to send it back

Also bought Black Market Shiraz 2016 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia, mitolo 2016 cantiniere shiraz, which is not bad.
