Frux Frugis 2018 isn't really outstanding, had one last night in a flight of 6 2018 Shiraz from Barossa and McLaren Vale and it ranked dead last. Admittedly strong competition with Sorby Adams The Thing, Travis Earth, Pertaringa Yeoman, Cape Barren The Vale, Cimicky Blackmoor being the other 5. It showed some spicy/estery character, lacked mid-palate power, seemed a little unbalanced and astringent on the finish.

The last one I had was a 2014, consumed late 2021, I believe made after Rose Kentish departed, but maybe not? It's an OK wine, but definitely not worth the touted RRP. My notes say stewed fruit, angular tannins, over-ripe, baggy - developed some nicer leathery tones after decanting.
Might be nice for some, but I struggled with it.

NB. Had a few vintages back then and largely speaking my thoughts were always the same.

Definitely the dalliance and not the Felice IMO, the ratings and competitors price match.

What was your top pick from that lineup?

My preference was in the order I listed them. If you like them big but smooth, the Thing is hard to beat.

Nice. I have a few bottles of The Thing 2016. Perhaps I shouldn’t leave them too much longer.

Just check it actually took both discounts off. I found that applying both only applied one discount.
