I recently bought and tried Voyager Estate Cab Sav 2017 and quite frankly it was barely drinkable. Exactly how you described, green, high on acid, low on fruit and abrasive to drink. Very disappointed with their flagship Cab Sav. I remember fabulous Voyager Estate CS from the past.
Your comment motivated me to try one of my 2015 Voyager Estate cabernets - I wouldn't say its undrinkable, but it certainly isn't quintessential Australian cabernet. Ripe fruits, smooth tannins but somehow quite light and boring.

Interestingly, I bought the case from a Langtons auction, where it was advertised as a Cabernet Malbec blend, but received the Cabernet.

Edit: Its opened up quite nicely over the last hour or so.

I have ordered both the Sharktooth and Old Faithful. I’d pitch them close to each other in quality, but quite different flavour profile. Since the Sharktooth is no longer available, I just used a referral code to save $25 while free shipping is on, getting the Old Faithful down to ~$21/bt.
I ordered Old Faithful in last minutes and paid shipping cost. Tried in last three day and it tasted best the third day. Glad I brought it! Burge family winemakers draycott barossa valley shiraz 2018 is on the way! Can not wait tasting it!
 
Don't worry dude only messing with you :)
No, experts in the true sense of the word due to knowledge and participation of forums.

Another 2018 McLaren Vale Shiraz Shiraz 2018 – Black Friday Deal #47033 - Red Wine | Vinomofo Australia
Being the Hither & Yon Old Jarvie 'The Honorable' Shiraz 2018
Carefully omitting the 90pt Stuart Knox score Old Jarvie The Honorable Shiraz 2018 and the 92pt Campbell Mattinson score.
Hither & Yon Old Jarvie The Honourable McLaren Vale Shiraz 2016

Made from vines planted in '94. Matured in 2yo French oak for 30 months. 500 bottles released. Bold blackberried fruit, cherry liqueur and a veneer of toasty, cedary vanilla. Flavours come spiked with a distracting level of acidity. Heft is very good; length is assured; tannin spreads impressively from the back-palate onwards. You'd bet on it for the future but some minor tweaks would have done it a world of good.

Has anyone signed up to either of the VM wine clubs? Just curious what it's like compared to hand selecting.
My VM broker said its nothing to rave on about which is why I have never joined. They said it contains a majority of the cheaper bottles around the $15-$30 mark and may get 1or 2 bottles of the decent $50-$80 wines but not to expect the more expensive wines say the $100+ bottles

also these are the VM stated RRP prices
 
Anyone tries the 2010 Serafino Terremoto Syrah?
Opening mine tonight…
I tried it in June. I thought it was more on a medium side of things. Still some fruit left and I think can be aged further for 3-5 years. I enjoyed it, used a very large glass to bring up nuances. However I bought it elsewhere, not from mof_

Edit - I would not buy at RRP. ..... but then I will not buy ANYTHING at RRP except for Rockford Basket Press Shiraz.
