I thought the label/winery seemed familiar, had to trawl through my old site archives, I bought a dozen of the 2002 Sandhurst Ridge Shiraz @ $17.99pb from Grays in 2011 as part of their clearance of wines from the failed Heritage Fine Wines investment scheme. Not the greatest bargain, but I enjoyed the wines.
Thanks for the tasting notes, mentioning Heathcote likeness had my ears pricked and I ordered 2013 Sandhurst Ridge Shiraz (splitting a dozen with a friend). Noted that Alc./Vol. is14.7% and it has gone up from 14% from now sold out 2012 vintage. Will report once I try it.
Looks like it to me, the only discrepancy is that RRP is $85
Just saw this one on VM for $16 Bendigo Hills Pinot Noir 2018 but never had it so not sure re quality.
I preferred it by a long shot. I found the Petraringa OTT a little too dry for my liking.
Chartley Estate LaviniaDoes anyone have any idea on this Tassie sparkling? I’ve got an event coming up that needs some bubbles, hoping this is something worth drinking.
Sparkling White 2016 – Black Market Deal #37429
Tasmania’s got the whole wine world excited for the sparkling wine they’ve been making. Of late, many of their offerings have been nothing short of world cla...www.vinomofo.com
I’ve had 1 Chartley Estate sparkling - it was vintage but only about 4 or 5 years old, and was flat
(not suggesting these would be but it has put me off the brand)Thanks for that, not that much info online and only a couple of reviews on Vivino, might keep looking for something else.
Most likely Haselgrove The Lear as it was offered earlier this year.Hi guys, tempted to order this one
Shiraz 2019 – Black Market Deal #37003
One of our best-selling wines is back with a bang (for your buck). Previous vintages have been awarded 95pts, proof’s in the pudding and mof_s have gone mad ...
Wondering if this could be one of those $90 Hasselgrove shiraz|
The ambassador reads " A generous portion of new French oak compliments the rich and full bodied mix of dense red fruits." but cannot find 2019 and the closure is cork as well
I think you are on the money as they also popped up on the Langtons auction site HASELGROVE WINES The Lear Single Vineyard Shiraz, McLaren Vale 2019 | Langton's Fine Wines
It is (the Lear) and it is (IMHO, definitely worth it). A drop above my pay grade at anything like full price, but it's smooth and rich (mind you, I'm a middleweight shiraz person) and going to get even better
Thanks for that, I pulled a trigger on it. It seem to have mixed reviews as I searched for it - will see how it goes.
VIVINO 4.5 stars
Yes, I bought 2018 @ $27 and didn't send it back, also bought and kept 2014 and 2015, sent back one, not sure if it was 2016 or 2017. Haven't jumped on 2019 though, too many other deals around.
