Looks like the discounted price is not longer? The 100 code still works but it's off rrp

Always exceptions but outside of Hunter & Margaret River I steer clear of 2011s and there isn't much Hunter Red that's good and reasonably priced anyway (IMO). MR cab from 2011 is good. I'd love to try a bottle of the 2011 Langi but I wouldn't spring for a half dozen. I'd bet it's clearance...

The Langi is a very good wine as rule. I haven't had the 2011 but I wouldn't buy it, even at that price, just based on the vintage. 2011 was a very bad (wet) year for Vic & SA (among others). Generally poor quality and generally poor ageing profile. Hard to find much in the way of reviews...

I wouldn't worry about missing it - it's a 40 euro sub 90 point wine

Then Dead Arm ages a lot better than I do.

The minute you charge is the minute the forum dies of starvation.

Just checked my records and I've had the twisted Trunk 2006 and 2013 around 10 years from release and rated them both above average. They were labeled as reserve. I've not had the 2017 but I see it doesn't say reserve if that means anything. Might be a China export wine. They do (or did?)...

From broker. Pretty sure it's St Hallett Old Block. I haven't had 2017 but it's generally a very good wine. $142.50 at Dan's. Can't easily find a link on VM. 97 Points - James Halliday "Elegant and perfumed wine, reflecting the cool vintage to best effect ... Always a classy wine." This...

Some of he best reasonably priced hot climate wines (big reds) around IMO.

Personally, I can't imagine an imported wine for under $20 with freight + duty and taxes is worth the effort of opening it let alone one from Rioja. Seems like a poor man's version Yellow Tail to me. Their base level export fodder. Bargains are great, we all love them but cheap is often self...

I don't think buying good wine you know at RRP and buying decent wine at a bargain price are mutually exclusive. I love a bargain and I buy a lot of wine at auction but I also buy wines I know not far off RRP if they are not generally discounted and I buy a bit at cellar door when I go tasting...

Thanks all for the feedback on the Red Queen. Think I'll pass at the asking price.

Any experience with this Red Queen? I'm a fan of Dandelion's wines but $250 seems like a try on. I've never had his one and wondering of anyone had any thoughts on the wine for $90...

May be of interest to some - I've not tried this one: https://www.thewinecollective.com.au/products/2018-mystery-western-australia-cabernet-sauvignon?utm_medium=email&utm_source=email_weekly_promo&utm_campaign=wk31_fri_mystery_wa_cab_sauv_mid_cust&utm_term=hero_mystery_wa_cab_sauv it's this...

I really can't see how there should be an expectation that the seller pays freight for returns when the wine is not faulty. Unless they say they do, I would assume it is at the buyers cost - unless the wine is faulty. If you just don't like it, I don't think the seller need even take a return...

2011 was relatively poor in NZ and much of Aust. NZ in general was warm & wet in 2011. 6/10 for Hawkes Bay by the rating I use. It's not published (private) but that is backed up by some published ratings. It's never universal though. As I said, I'd be interested in what you think when you...

I'd be interested in your opinion when you open one. Personally I stay away from anything 2011 unless it's from Margaret River.

Each to their own but I think the reserve Bin A is a good Chardonnay. $30 is an absolute steal. $77 is decent value. RRP like all Penfolds beyond entry level is outrageous.

I had the same issue - 1%. However the site lists 15% rather than 25% as of this morning

Thanks, I did see that but there is nothing in my offers for VM on the AM Ex page so I can't activate it. No big deal, not sure there's anything calling me at VM anyway. Cheers
