No, I didn't plump for that one in the end as I didn't like the sound of the reviews I read.

I enjoyed it (though it's defo not a trad coonawarra cab sav), particularly for the price, but if you look back on this forum others didn't love it so much. See the posts around 30 March...

Was $12 delivered after discounts/credit. Woop!
 
Hmmm, not good. I had a quick look at the website for Byrne and Calcannia and nearly needed some heart surgery when I saw Thomson Estate listed.... i'd misread tho as one of my favourite wineries is Thompson Estate and Thomson Estate is very different. But mind you the latter seems to have a rating of 4.9 from 1200 'reviews'

There were 1792 Thomson ratings avg 4.0 when I checked this morning, but only 3 of them are listed on the site. There is also a brand in the stable called "Flavabom". I don't think I'm in the target market for those wines :)
 
Wow, just seems dodgy. I took a screenshot yesterday as it seemed so strange, amazing that the reviews had changed so much when you looked

Interesting viewing tonight when looking at reviews for a discounted Vivino wine… I know this topic has been discussed previously in the context of high ratings from vinomofo employees. 72 fake accounts is quite staggering!

If they have removed 75, there seem to be quite a few still remaining. A quick scan of the top raters shows not only are they praising the wines in the stable, they are downrating other brands as well (eg giving Penfolds a 1 star review)

There is a 91pt review by JH on Wine Companion, but it doesn't actually say anything much about the wine itself. Probably a "destined for China wine. Lot of Vineyard Road wines on Dan Murphy Marketplace. https://www.danmurphys.com.au/produ...yard-road-the-edge-barossa-valley-shiraz-2017

Thank you, it doesn't sound too exciting!

I think I'll stick to the Pirramimma Heritage Limited Edition Shiraz - IMHO best value for money on VM for Australian shiraz atm.

Pinot Noir 2018 – Black Market Deal #41407 - Goona Warra Chairman’s Reward Pinot. Anyone familiar with it?

I ended up booming on this one. I think perfumed is a good description. With 4 years under its belt there’s some depth, it is not an earthy, light pinot like you’d see from the mornington peninsula - more fruit, but was worth the punt.

Bought a six pack, it's a Pinot for someone who'd rather be drinking a big Coonawarra Shiraz. For me it's too big and lacks the subtilty and complexity I'd expect from a Pinot. Interesting though.

snap!

Fully agree - to the point I have ordered another case. Says it can be cellared until 2036 - don't think its going to last that long and it gives me the impression of a drink now rather than better with age.

I can't believe that what I opened last Friday night is the same wine as you guys are raving about. My bottle was musty and rather flat tasting - something wrong with it or my taste buds? I suspect not the latter as the bottle of Massena Eleventh Hour that we opened after that was wonderful - exactly my kind of shiraz. Anyone else had sub-par impressions of the Pirramimma Heritage?
