I can confirm (via broker)

Yes he did. I read a response from John Middleton to Parker's review (a long time ago) taking aim at Parker's stylistic liking for the big reds but there was some tension beforehand. Middleton didn't have much time for critics or the secondary market.

Interesting read. Dr John Middleton had some interesting views on Robert Parker and the ability to articulate them.

Tend to agree. Bob Campbell & NZ wine - deduct plenty.

Australian wine reviews and point scores in particular are a disgrace. Unmitigated BS. Try and find a published reviewfrom a major "critic" of a known winery's product that is disparaging. The number of 94+ point wines is farcicle. I don't pay any attention to reviews any more or at least...

Sold out when I tried to check on the magnum. Good deal if you can get it

If you call VM and ask if they have it they will tell you.

I've never tried it but thanks for the input W&D. 96 points for a $20 wine seems high though.

Not VM but I got an email from Nicks that contained this: 2017 Epsilon Shiraz - Premium - $15 - $40

Glen Eldon Old Vines Glen Eldon Wines | 2013 “Old Vine Series” Shiraz Grenache

Wouldn't surprise me. Now I need to pull mine out and check. Confirmed that it's Twisted Trunk. There a RRP $150 in todays email which I am told is also Glen Eldon - I assume Old Vines.

The 2006 Glen Eldon was good from memory but it would have been a fair while back that I had it. I think I have one in the cellar. I am trying to confirm via broker if this is actually the Glen Eldon, in which case I'll grab a case and try one along side the 2006 at some point in the near future.

Interesting observations. I presume this is the 2015 Trofeo? I had a bottle last night with my wife. We both liked it. I don't have TN's and I didn't study the wine at all but it wasn't acidic to my taste. Certainly not a big Pinot but it's not supposed to be - not thin IMO. At first it...

Frankly the Aust. wine scoring scene is a joke. Aust "critics" over state Aust wines in general and score by reputation as a matter of course. I much prefer a site like Cellar Tracker for honest opinion. It's varied as reviews should be given they are from the eyes of the beholder but its...

I bought the 2015 Tucks Ridge Pinot for 22.50. I've had one which was good (don't have TN's). The rest I will cellar. Good get at 22.50. I also shared a case of the Buckle but it was 2014. I haven't tried but I have tried an earlier vintage and recall that I liked it. I wouldn't pay $100...

Hi all, Love to get any feeddback from anyone who has had this wine. Vinomofo - Château Sixtine Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2016 - Red Wine I recently had a 2014 from the same region (different winery). 2016 vintage reports seem good for Sth Rhone. RR seems overstated but nothing new there. Thanks

Vinomofo - Black Market Pinot Noir 2015 - Red Wine Tucks Ridge if anyone is intersted. I haven't tried the wine but 2015 Mornington Peninsula Pinot is a pretty good vintage.

I've stayed away from the 2012. 89 from memory on WF. I generally like the wine but also dubious re 2012. No other reviews on line that I could find which is always a concern. Love to hear from anyone who's purchased and tried the 2012 from Fo or elsewhere.

Thanks. I presume their unreserved auction? If so, plus buyers commission @16.5 inc GST? Still a good price. Cheers

$50? Wouldn't mind a heads up on that.
