Easy one.

Thompson Estate The Specialist Chardonnay 2023

This is the pinnacle of chardonnay produced at Thompson Estate, and this is certainly one of the finest they have produced. Strikes immediately on the nose with a complex maze of cashew, butterscotch, and slightly savoury notes, providing an engaging opening. The palate, though, is where this...

I've noticed quite a few errors on Gray's such as description not matching the title (wrong size or number of bottles) or wrong image used. Also, apparently Absolut Vodka is apparently made in Russia now.

Not sure who writes these but attention to detail is not their strong suite so need to pay attention.

I've also made a lot of great purchases from Gray's but they don't take any accountability for corked or otherwise damaged wines so you win some you lose some. A few have gone straight down the sink unfortunately.

Gray's will refund for severely mis-described or faulty wines that are not from private cellars, I've had success several times and sometimes they don't even want the wine back. It does take a week or two for the process to work through. I use this Submit a request page: https://support.grays.com/hc/en-au/requests/new

Yes they are

Are the Lindemans trio what they used to be? Hard to find reviews of the more recent vintages. Is it possible that the quality has dropped? The 2022 that's currently on cellardoor.co is well priced, but I'm wondering if they are the wines they used to be.

How long ago where they good?

My earliest memories; getting to know wine as a young rooster with some older fellows that knew their stuff, Lindemans was not rated very highly. This would have been early 2000s in WA.

The Lindeman's trio (Limestone Ridge, St George and Pyrus) are single vineyard wines from Coonawarra. When I first got into wine (15-20 years ago) they were always highly regarded.

Pyrus and St George were top shelf in my fam, and very delicious, in the late 80s/early 90s. Haven't had many since mainly due to price, but there's a whack of it ageing in my cellar now due to cellardoor vouchers and discounts... Here's hoping the label hasn't gone to s**t

Thanks @chonka. This style generally suits my palate so will give these a try. Appreciate the heads up.

Not unhappy with this bunch for $10.19 a bottle.

If you read the thread I think you'll find these were part of dozen deals offerings.

That's right. See post 34242. When Im struggling to disentangle threads, the little arrow next to the quoted post can be helpful

Many thanks - I got a little lost trying to track it down

I haven't minded some of the cheaper wines I've been getting from dozendeals. (I find the Prosperatis Cab 'can' have a green veg note I'm not fond of though)
The mega mystery mixed boxes have been fun. Got the below in my last box. Bonus magnum
