Just did the same trick - hopefully it is a goodie! worth the risk at that price
And another. I was hovering over the 2017 Blackwell with a $20 cellarone voucher and boomed on the Glen Eldon instead. 4.5 on Vivino is impressive, with 203 voters.
 
Interesting context, tempted to buy them given it's the last release.

Are they worth buying - the tWF reviews seem to indicate they are.
Marius wines are old school awesome. I've had some Symphony, Simpatico and special release 14 Resurrection in the past. Trophy wines that need some age. Haven't tried the 18's but get some quickly ... if you can.
 
Might be a little too late. Here's what I've got from Roger:

Dear mini2,

The demand for the 2108 wines has been unprecedented. The wines sold out yesterday, on the day of release.

My apologies but, even with extensive scaling back of orders, many of you will miss out completely.

I shall work my way through the list over the next few days and let everyone know if they were successful or not but I know that there are are an awful lot who will miss out.

Please do not send any further orders or enquire about the status of your order as I am already totally snowed under. I shall get to you when I can.

Again, my apologies,

Roger

...talk about ordering in advance!
 
Doh, guess I'll jump on it next year... though I presume those very final bottles will go flying at this rate.

Next year is the final release of Marius, I think only the 2 Shiraz will be released. Unless he puts limits on the original long-term customers on his "pre-release" list there may not be any for the second wave. And I've already been roundly condemned on my own Forum for suggesting that limits might be placed on pre-release list orders. :oops:
 
I had a quick look at a sample of the reviewers. They don’t seem to be fakes/profiles that have only left the one review (as some have found with the Curtis).

I can’t help but assume a genuine 4.5 would not be available at this price, but It doesn’t need to be a 4.5 for $20.

It's funny, vivino structure changed a little while ago, but when it used to focus on the top 25, or whatever it was called, they had on occasion intercepted and removed what appeared to be fake reviews. I think the fake reviews appeared to come back, but this time, the profiles had reviewed a few other random wines in a short space of time

I've never had a Curtis wine, but for me the evidence is with Mr 99 points Halliday giving there top Shiraz ($100) an 89 - ouch!

Most of Curtis family labels are junk. The only reasonable one which also get decent scores is Martins Vineyard. Can be found around $20-25 at times.

I assume their business model is similar to Glen Eldon that was mentioned here yesterday, jack up the price for export purposes then release excess stock to domestic market with 80-90% discount.
 
re Marius, I've asked for 8x Simpatico and 4x Symphony but they've amended that to 6x Simpatico, 4x Symphony and 2x Symposium.
