Not anymore. The VM plant in this thread had reported to his Fo masters of this oversight.

Olympicwiz, your suspicion does have some merit to it. So let's pin down this VM mole and torture a confession out of them with some really bad cask wine.

Are you calling me a double agent? Honest, guys, I'm on your side

Does anybody know what this is?

Price Drop: Shiraz 2011 - Beat The Clock Deal #56842 - Red Wine

Just wait until you find who made this one... McLaren Vale produces some of Australia's best shiraz, and there are a few players who take the title of 'best of the best'. This single-vineyard, museum shiraz comes from one of these incredible producers, and the juice is absolutely stunning.

Interesting that VM Uncovered provides a description but does not name the wine. Given it's a 2011 release, I'd have some concerns regarding the current condition of the wine.

I’d put money on it being one of the strangely named d’Arenbergs. The description talks about multiple single vineyards with different characteristics. eg. d'Arenberg The Piceous Lodestar Single Vineyard Shiraz 2011

You are definitely on the money there! And it makes sense!

With the hint from VM page, I can only narrow down to 3 series that has 95 pts from barefoot review

2011 The Fruit Bat Single Vineyard Shiraz
2011 The Piceous Lodestar Shiraz Single Vineyard Shiraz
2011 The Vociferate Dipsomaniac Single Vineyard Shiraz

Without the backstop of the VM return guarantee, I wouldn't touch a 14yo 2011 McLaren Vale red with the proverbial barge pole.

I bought some of the 2010 Vociferate Dipsomaniac last year and it’s drinking fine - Haliday has the drinking range out to 2036 so it probably depends where it’s been stored.

Agree. I highly doubt that there will be any issue with the 2011 being offered. I'm buying without hesitation.

I would acknowledge, though, that some may not understand the differences associated with an aged red and think that this is a fault with the wine. If you don't like aged reds then don't buy. But a 14 year old McLaren Vale red should be drinking very well and still have some years on it from a quality producer like d'Arenberg. I also wouldn't be concerned about it being from 2011. Not as bad as many will make out (I have posted on this previously indicating the flaw with the rankings for this year).

2010 was a very good vintage down there, 2011 probably the worst of the century, so far. It might be Ok at that price, unlikely to be great. Even Marius struggled a bit that year.

My credit card begs to differ, but nonetheless, I will educate this thread when I find out.

Just received an email from VM with the usual "Beat the clock" shenanigans advising me of "the lowest price ever" for Pirramimma Earl

Price Drop: Pirramimma 'The Earl' Shiraz 2021 – Beat The Clock Deal - Red Wine

Pirramimma might well be the most popular producer to ever grace Vinomofo with their amazing wines. This'll show you why. Very smooth, very silky, very fancy.

Yet it is still available for $32.50 using the link below
