i think the rating system is used often to shift subpar or average wine. it seems at times that 95 is the new 90. I can’t remember the last time I saw a sub 90 rating given. Sure, there are plenty of reviewers out there that are possibly guilty of over rating, however, if consumers feel...

Same. It’s gotten to the stage now where I laugh and deduct 5 points

I ordered a dozen Jaraman, it turns out that Liqourland won’t honor it as they consider the price a mistake. They refunded my money after I asked where my wine was. i ended up instead, getting a dozen Serafino Black Label 2015 Shiraz for $220 a case, via Serafino.

Thanks @vyralmonkey, that works. $10 each is a good buy.

Great tip except it says no stock left in NSW. Pity.

Some of the tactics wine sellers use are quite obvious, particularly the ‘normally retails for’ practice. Others include a generous point rating on an average wine, a point rating to a particular vineyard, that is in small print and not the wine advertised. A normally good wine that either...

I just has some decanted 2016. the DM hidden price is about what it’s worth. Nice balance and nose with tannins that are there but not OTT

before splashing out, do a check that the same bottle isn’t an ‘under wraps’. The of the better Ulithornes are heavily reduced and a good buy at that price

DM had the Unicus as a hidden red, a nice buy indeed but not worth the list price

I bought two as well. DM’s points need to be taken with a large grain of salt, but I thought it worth a buy. I heard about it via an email from them

Something like that, yes. They even had a special on 2012 Cabernet mix for $17.90 at one stage recently

I like the 2015 Heirloom. It retails for around $40, though their current offer had it for around $20, which isn’t bad. I’ve bought it from them as a special for as low as $15.

Agree. I bought a case of 2012 Wynn’s Black Label Cab Sav a few months ago, via a DM special and am sure I paid around $34 or so each. Again, with anything DM, keep an eye on the Vintage they end up supplying.

Thanks. Am interested to see what other posters think

Be wary when buying Dan Murphy specials as the Vintage advertised via the rating given, eg 95, isn't the one actually supplied! Dan Murphy blames their marketing department, though it happens a little too often for comfort.
