Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

Any one tried the Xanadu Reserve CS before? I had the regular CS a couple of times but not sure if the reserve CS worth 3 times more the price.

Value is subjective, but it's a very good wine, I'd argue it's knocking on the door to be top tier in MR.

Thanks.

EOFY Sale - 2019 Heartland Directors' Cut Shiraz (Museum Release) | Heartland Wines

Cellared to perfection for 7 years. This exceptional vintage has softened into a remarkably smooth, velvety expression. Expect a wonderfully warm bouquet of blackberry jam and exotic Turkish spices, leading to a soft, mellow palate of rich aniseed and dark fruits. The finish is now incredibly...

Heartland wines has some EOFY deals. I reckoned the directors cut for $120/6 bottles would be a good buy

I hadn’t heard of them before but I’m a fan of Ben Glaetzer’s work elsewhere, so might be worth a try?

Also a fan, but I dunno, when I read "the vibrant purple fruits have turned wonderfully soft and mellow" it sounds to me like it's a fruit driven wine that's lost it's most appealing part.

Costco has a price error (online) for the Yellow Tail Merlot 1.5L. 6 bottles for $11.99. Good if someone need that large amount of red wine for cooking.

https://www.costco.com.au/Wine-Spirits/Wine/Red-Wine/Yellow-Tail-Merlot-6-x-15L/p/30137

Arrived yesterday. It is 2024. I used it to cook lamb shank.

Probably reasonable for gluhwein, too. Spices, sugar and rum will mask a lot of sins.

Any standouts in there?

Coleraine 2022 for $110 is decent, and I'm curious about the John Duval Integro 2016 but haven't had any of his wines before. Was also looking at the Two Hands Dave's Block 2019 but the reviews aren't great.

Great intel thanks. Any idea when they will be available? Has been checking recently but haven’t seen them go up yet. Sounds like this vintage is even better than 2022

I was always told that if you don't want to drink it, you don't want to cook with it.
