My thoughts are already on record, both positive: http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/frequent-flyer-wine-lovers/vinomofo-wine-deals-53217-1102.html#post1522869...

I had another Brothers and Sisters just a week or so ago, so the comparison is still fairly fresh in my mind. They are both very nice wines. The twins probably has the edge in intensity and complexity, but the B&S is much better balanced and integrated. As a drink now proposition I would go with...

The 2015 Twins Cab Sauv is back up today with free shipping. It's another boom for me. https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/maverick-twins-cabernet-2015-5cc7cd81

Yes I would take the '15 cab over the '13 blend, purely based on its increased intensity and complexity. I rated the '13 blend a 90 on CT versus a 94 for the '15 cab. It's a little closer when comparing the '15 shiraz to the '15 cab. The shiraz is currently the better balanced of the two...

I cracked my first 2015 Twins Cabernet tonight. This was a challenging wine to write a tasting note for. There is so much going on that narrating that experience in a set of liner notes is not quite fair to the wine. Here is my best effort: This is a straight cabernet, rather than the...

Steady, try this link: https://2blokesintrouble.wordpress.com/2016/10/14/is-the-2014-hunter-vintage-worthy-of-the-hyperbole/

Mine were delivered by Aus Post, so maybe start by looking in the mail room (if such an archaic beast still exists in your organisation).

Yikes. I hope you find it. A lot can happen to a case of wine in a month! I've given up getting deliveries made to work. I tried it three times and only once was the wine delivered to the correct location. The first time it was delivered to the wrong building and left behind an empty (and...

Yes, and the cabernet is different this year also. It is a straight cabernet, not a blend. Maybe the 2015 Barossa vintage was so good that no blending was required this year. Based on how good the shiraz was I have high hopes for the cabernet.

The Shiraz is very good, I posted a tasting note on it sometime last week. I'm still waiting to taste the Cabernet. I probably won't get a chance to try it until the weekend. I'm not a GSM fan, so I can't comment on that. Here is my post regarding the shiraz...

I ordered mine late, on the 15-Sept and they arrived on 27-Sept. I would definitely be chasing them up.

That equation looks dodgy to me. It is telling me that my B = -1824 bottles per year. That just doesn't smell right to me. Are you sure there isn't supposed to be a divisor in there somewhere?

How about holding quarterly AFF Frequent Wine Lover tasting parties. I'm sure you'd get a good turnout of people who appreciate what's on offer. I would be more than happy to contribute financially to such events, to help defray the cost of the wine and any associated catering and cleanup...

Yes, thanks for sharing that link. :)

I hope the shiraz isn't too sweet for you. It's not what I would call a fruit bomb or overly jammy, but the fruit flavours are quite vibrant and intense, which gives it a distinctly sweetish feel. I imaging it will be a few years until those flavours start to lose their sweetening impact.

The Twins Cabernet has just hit the site. It looks like the bean counters were busy overnight and inflated the listed price to the new $11.50 mark. Still good value if it's anywhere near the shiraz in quality.

That was my thought also. Based on the quality of the 2015 shiraz I suspect you may be right on the money. I can't wait for my cabs to arrive some can test the theory.

Sorry, my bad. The Amelia was the 2012. It was just my aged eyes playing tricks on me. I was probably too misty eyed over the twins.

My Twins Shiraz arrived yesterday and I decided to crack a bottle tonight, as I've been road testing a few shiraz's this week. Here are my tasting notes: Still a very young wine with the dark fruit taking centre stage, as you would expect at this stage of its development, but still very...

A little cheaper at $10.90 a bottle.
