Possibly, the last of these I bought of these was the 2006 then 2010 vintages, 2010 @ $45 and a very good wine. IMO the quality has declined in recent times since it became a Woolworths exclusive line. I'd probably go for the 2009 if you have a choice.

Obviously everybody's tastes differ - but IMHO it's just a very ordinary wine - it is not unpleasant to drink - it has little nose, little to no intensity and no finish - just a nothing wine. YES I know way young but I aint waiting years to discover it's failings - back it goes.

Oh well, at least you can send back thanks to good ole VM policy. Sadly I'm finding my 2010 Clarendon Hills Hickinbotham Syrah to be nice but a bit meh. Tasted it over three hours and then the next day just to be sure. Very disappointing given how much I was looking forward to it and having paid $50/btl (half price) for the case. And vivino is replete with good reviews for it! Not sure what's going on... Also not sure another five years in the cellar will improve it but that's probs what I'll do. Anyhoo, had it been VM and not Langton's I would have had options...

Thanks Redbigot. Appreciate the info. I bought one of each out of curiosity. I saw the 2008 first at one store but couldn’t find a lot of detail about it. Dans happily matched the 2009 special price of $25. Then saw the 2009 at another store. After some further investigations it seems like your right the 2009 will be the pick.

I think they do. I had to make a return for what turned out to be overpriced and very ordinary wine. The process was painful and took about 5 weeks to get it returned and refunded

Had similar reaction after trying the 2014 vintage last year.
Think I got it from DM under wraps for $25 per bottle.

Got the seppelt jaluka vertical delivered yesterday. Tried the oldest one (2005) tonight and it is surprisingly still nice and fresh with specks of minerality throughout, really enjoyable but doesn't have the concentration of a really good aged chardy. Definitely affirmed this was a good buy for $100 20201015_180927.jpgfor 6 pack.
 
Bocaccio Cellars have 2019 Balgownie Estate Single Vineyard Pinot for $12 per bottle in cleanskins. Seems like a reasonable deal, anyone tried it? I’m assuming it’s not the black label based on the description.

And VM look to have the Shadowfax Pinot for $17 pb, only in dozens. Decisions, decisions...

This one? Pinot Noir 2017 – Black Market Deal #36076
Shadowfax or Hanging Rock? Shadowfax 5 red stars, Hanging Rock 5 black stars. More cult than Shadowfax? None of the options exactly match all VM info.

I think you're right. I was sure it was $34 down to $17, but must have misread it. Alcohol is way out too.
