Hmm. If one is 'scholarly' one could guess that this was not the Xanadu. This reconciles my FOMO of the mof_ somewhat.

Could be The Scholar, but I can't find a Ray Jordan review of the 2010, and the price doesn't seem to match either. VM had the 2011 at $80->$40 and the 2012 is $79.95 on the Capel Vale website.
 
Any idea what this might be:

No ...but comparing GSM...with straight shiraz and or cab sav is like comparing apples with oranges

.......yes it is but after many years of wine enjoyment, and after many tastings where many varietals are considered, there is no doubt that I can work out firstly, whether it is good or bad and secondly, how a wine may sit in an eleven bot tasting experience...it is all in the experience and how long ones liver will hold up. We all learn especially with wine. And in the words of alzoam, there is good and there is bad. In the words of my wife, there is very good and then there is exceptional. She tells me that I just scrape over the line.Phew.

As a point of reference my 2014 Maverick Twins GSM turned up today - Ordered 8th Jan - 4 working days, 6 days total (a new record for me.)
 
SO I just spent half an hour trying for the life of me to find out what the
mof_ SECRET DEAL Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 $50 down to $22 Coonawarra​
was via the search and am now completely beat. I know it's a restock - missed it the first time round. Any help would be much appriciated. Also, anyone tried it? Thoughts?

I cracked one of my Penley Estate 2010 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon tonight. Here are my tasting notes:

A big classy full-bodied Coonawarra cabernet. Luscious ripe cassis, blueberry and black plumb flavours predominate, along with a hint of mint, liquorice and tobacco across that unique earthy Coonawarra background. Nice complexity and great length of finish. A very nice wine.

The only downside is that the oaky tannins are still quite firm and feel a little chalky and mouth-drying. I think the tannins still need quite a bit more bottle time to fully integrate. The good news is that the wine has a good acid balance, so it should be capable of carrying the tannins the distance. I suspect the wine needs a least another 5 years, maybe even 10 years, but should be a lovely, or possibly a stunning wine by then.

Note, after having been decanted for several hours, those tannins settled down a bit, so if you are planning on drinking the wine young, decanting is highly recommended.

If the 2012 is anything like the 2010, it will probably be a number of years before it becomes approachable.

I think there was some conjecture that it was the Schild Estate Barossa Valley Shiraz 2013. Not certain. Actually, strike that. I was just going off the price. This is a new one.

Might be this one: http://www.taylorswines.com.au/wine-collection/eighty-acres/shiraz/2013 . Again though, don't bet on it. Percent alcohol doesn't match up. 5 gold though. (But can't find a trophy for it.)

Aha -- must be this: http://www.jackestate.com/?method=p...lMarketingURL=product/2013-Jack-Estate-Shiraz
Alcohol, trophy, medals, region, RRP, and inclusion in top 100 wines all match.
