Did anyone get a hold / know what the Dalwhinnie was?

Sold out now, but the Dalwhinnie Moonambel Shiraz showed up at

Shiraz 2015 – Black Market Deal #46789 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia

A perfectly aged, Halliday approved shiraz from a Victorian icon. Bold fruit, nuance, complexity, structure, power, finesse. There's a *lot* to love here.

After ordering 3 cases of Sharktooth I finally tasted it tonight.
It is very smooth, very pleasant and easy to drink but… That is all… No ‘2nd palate’, nothing that stays in your mouth like you would expect from a ‘$70´ wine. I’m a bit disappointed. It is worth what I paid, no issues with that. I was just hopping it was a great deal not just a fair deal!
I will taste an other one tomorrow to confirm my feelings.

Open it now! Thought the same… We found it much more interesting/complex with a day of air.

Did anyone get this last time? Another 50 cases available

Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 – Black Market Deal #46392 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia

We know Halliday doesn't dish out the scores easily, so for a 10 year-old cabernet to take home a whopping 96 points is testament to incredible wine.

2015 or 2016?

2015 or 2016?

2016. Tasted it again tonight after letting it breath in the decanter for a couple of hours and I’m still not impressed. Oh well, I will let it rest for a few weeks and get back to it later…

It’s not a typical flavour profile.

It’s not a typical flavour profile.

It is more the lack of flavour and character that disappointed me.
Anyway could be what I ate with it or simply my mood on the night. I hope you all enjoy your!

Possible cork failure?

Cork seemed fine. I will decant it for longer next time.

Going to a BYO tonight- will crack one (2016) open and see. Probably without much airing.

I did the 16 and 17 back to back again this weekend after doing it last week and a bit ago. 17 again my preference being more fruit forward but the 16 still going down very well this evening. No complaints. Looking forward to the 15 edition.

This is consistent with my experience comparing 15-17

Opened it and first impressions are, brightish red fruit dominant without being over acidic. Subtle tannins and just a little touch of oak. I preferred 2015 as 2016 seems a little bit single dimensional and lacking the complexity of 2015. Not a super long finish but nice lingering at the end.

Edit. Got a lot better with time.

I received this email this morning:

I've just heard from our warehouse team that there was a small admin error and the Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz 2004 in your order has been cancelled as we've completely sold out of this particular wine!

I've gone ahead and processed your refund of $60 for you which should only take a couple of business days to reach you

And also given a $20 refund - which doesn't seem sufficient in the circumstances?

I think they should compensate the amount being the Street Value of the product less the amount originally charged to compensate properly.

 

[misohoney]

I think they should compensate the amount being the Street Value of the product less the amount originally charged to compensate properly.

They should also compensate anyone that wasted more than 1 hour of their lives with nothing to show for it

The right thing to do would be to substitute another vintage.
