I bought this the other week with the $30 code, unfortunately 20% CB didn't track but I filed a claim.
Re Powell & Son Riverside, VM has it advertised as a GSM 2018, their pic is of a GMS 2018, it's sure to be one or the other
What did you get Luke ?

Actually yes: first sip I thought it was great, but afterwards it didn’t wow me that much. I’m not any sort of wine expert, but I expect generally a young cab sauv will have lots of tannins and then mellow as time goes on. This was definitely the case with a penley and a swings & roundabouts I got (both after a couple of years were amazing). Not sure if this will be the same and I need to give it a couple of years, or maybe it’s just a different style? The other half really enjoyed it though.
Perhaps the most important factor in our business.
This is what I did for my two VM orders yup.
I'm annoyed at myself that I paid via PayPal for $120, but another $99 via AMEX.
If this is the 2010 RSR, I thought this was okay but not a patch on the 2004 from a few months ago. Given a two hour decant, but seemed a bit awkward and disjointed on first try. Came together better after another hour or so, but the 04 was singing from first sip and for me just had more poise, balance and depth.
It was the 2010 RSR. I don't have (unfortunately) a 2004 to compare it to, but as a stand alone it was thoroughly enjoyed - maybe the tannin a bit too evident but that should soften with age.
Hi mavis, from Memory you were another tassie based AFFer ?
Coincidences. Ten minutes ago I was the second and succesful bidder on 12 bot of patritti sparkling shiraz. $44 the case. Add the $12 freight etc and it comes to just over a fiver per bottle. Found a lonely review pre purchase by a South Oz critic which said at $24 is was well underpriced. Piqued my interest of course. Last weekend another coincidence. I was just thinking last Sunday, God knows how it entered my scone, of the Patriti muscat that i got thru the Fo about 5 years ago in a mixed case. A mixed case of God knows what. But it was a 375ml bot and i can still remember how absolutely amazing it was. Lo and behold, i found a 750ml bot, the only one in stock, in a bakery cough deli in Coburg. Can you believe it, a trendy deli in the backstreets. Havent tried it yet, can get more from them, and at only $17 a bot, i hope it brings back memories.
Late to the party mate?
