I tried to use ChatGPT to work out what this wine is, given it's obviously the Austin's Wines 6ft6 Pinot Noir 2023. It had no clue at all, first suggesting a 2024 Pinot Noir from Toolangi (wrong region, wrong year, wrong price), then a 2024 Shadowfax Geelong Pinot Noir (wrong year, wrong price), then a Beyond the Wilderness Pinot Noir 2024 (wrong region, wrong year).

An interesting experiment, but it's impressively useless for this at the moment.

I managed to get it close to Austin’s 6ft6 2024?
It narrowed it down between Scotchmans Hill Swan Bay Pinot and Austin’s 6ft6.

I've sent back a few things that end up in Salvation cases.

Yep, that's how they recycle 'em. In recent months I've sent back a few, where previously that was rare for me: not necessarily bad wines as such, but didn't grab me, & I've got too much stock to be keeping lesser ones

Amex deal = Spend 299 and get 70 back on the platinum card, need to activate the offer in your Amex app.

Thanks for the insight Redbigot!

Thoughts on the best two options out of the below when it comes to quality / value for $ disregarding the inflated RRPs?

Shiraz 2021 – Black Market Deal #58593 - Red Wine

Polished but powerful. A celebration of red and dark fruits with mocha and liquorice nuances thrown in for good measure. Finessed and incredibly fine-grained savoury tannins.

Shiraz 2023 - Black Market Deal #58487 - Red Wine

Hooley dooley. Old vine mastery. This has all the ethereal complexity that you can only really achieve when harvesting fruit from ancient vines. Gnarled and moody in the glass, as it's allowed to drink in a little air you'll see it evolve and open up to you. Something special to be sure.

www.vinomofo.com

Shiraz 2021 - Black Market Deal #53972 - Red Wine

A waxed dipped cork and big fancy bottle set the scene for a powerful wine worthy of a special occasion. You know the drill: big, bold, rich dark fruits with plenty of smooth oak and beautiful tannins that bode very well for anyone who wants to put this beauty down for a few years. Barossa at...

Shiraz 2021 - Black Market Deal #54880 - Red Wine

Concentration, spice, and all things nice. Perfumed red cherries and plums, with a smooth chocolate-like texture, and those cooling breezes we know and love of the McLaren Vale leaving you with a wine of concentration and freshness.

www.vinomofo.com

Shiraz 2021 - Black Market Deal #54206 - Red Wine

An immense wine. A monster in a glass. Lashings of vanilla and chocolate sit at the edges of a dense fruit core. Vibrant and energetic with big, chewy tannins and remarkably smooth finish. This is a beast to be sure, but it's also a beauty.

www.vinomofo.com

Shiraz 2021 - Black Market Deal #58626 - Red Wine

From the oldest certified organic vineyard in the Barossa (planted 1902), this is a powerful, brooding red with serious pedigree. Big dark fruit, spice, silky tannins, and a finish that just won't quit. It’s a one-off deal, and it’s downright exceptional.

www.vinomofo.com

Shiraz 2018 – Black Market Deal #44591 - Red Wine

It would be quite appropriate to say that this producer is an icon of the Barossa Valley. You’ll know them and revere them for sure. And this is their flagsh...

www.vinomofo.com

Shiraz 2021 - Black Market Deal #58101 - Red Wine

It’s a showstopper, and built to impress even the most discerning of critics. A Barossa masterpiece from a winery established way back in the mid 1800's.

www.vinomofo.com

I think everything ably identified except I didn't notice 58487? Glen Eldon 2023 Twisted Trunk Reserve. Another big wine in your long list of big wines! I've seen reference to Amex deals several times, perhaps it's time to once again get Amex...

Twisted Trunk 2023 is $40 at Winestar (Mystery wine).

Thanks RB, Have you tried the 2023? I've really rated prior vintages but at c$25-30.

No, not at $50 at VM or even a 3-pack from Winestar at $40 + freight etc..

[ThatWineGuy]

Good afternoon, mo fos. Any recommendations for "The Release" sale? Sad to see I've missed Curly Flat. Serves me rightly for a tardy rise. The floorboards are a bit creeky upstairs today after a few long raises of a stiff elbow last night.... (Never again!)

 

[JohnTSG]

Any codes floating? @ThatWineGuy not on special but cracking if you want something with some oomph - All Saints Rutherglen I believe when it landed.

Durif 2022 - Black Market Deal #57155​

 

[olympicwiz]

There is Penfolds Bin 389 2022 for $89 which I think is fully priced, here is hoping for a late $20 coupon!

Also my broker sent me a list below at about 10am so some may sold out. Katnook is excellent but a bit too pricey for me

1. Katnook Estate Odyssey Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, Coonawarra - Only 40 cases available!

RRP $105 down to $89.99/btl in a 3pk

Langtons Classified | 96 Halliday | 95 Wine Pilot |

Exclusively through me, Halliday calls it "stellar winemaking from a beautiful fruit source"... This is premo!



"Katnook’s top shelf The Odyssey is a wine with revered provenance and quality – and out of a stellar 2021 vintage this wine is all that and more...Once tasted it’s all about the Cabernet berry characters, sappy varietal tannins, mouthwatering dark grapey flavours, and an upright and solid structure, though never heavy or clunky. That’s the trick to its immense pleasures." Wine Pilot



2. Clarendon Hills Brookman Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, McLaren Vale

RRP $75 down to $25/btl in a 6pk

Halliday Wine Companion Top 100 Wineries

96pts Wine Orbit



8. Bois Royal Bordeaux 2020, France

RRP $40 down to $22.50/btl in a 6pk (Comes in a wooden Box!)

94 James Suckling

Honestly, I didn't think it was possible for a Bordeaux of this caliber, that comes in a stunning wooden box and huge points from an international esteemed reviewer... could possible sell for $22.50!? These will fly!



9. Black Market Moorabool Valley Pinot Noir 2023, Geelong

RRP $50 down to $22.99/btl in a 6pk

95pts Halliday

Geelong has become a favourite and most premium region for top quality Pinot, and this highlights exactly why. Pinot drinkers... this is a must!

RRP $45 down to $42.50/btl in a 6pk

95pts Halliday

Absolute Icon and for good reason!

We're obsessed with Punch wines here at VM, and its for good reason, this is delicious, creamy, premium Yarra Chardy!



12. Wills Domain The Coveted Chardonnay 2024, Margaret River

RRP $60 down to $29.99/btl in a 6pk

This is delicious and absolutely ready to drink, it's soft, creamy and nutty. If you like old school Chardy that's also beautifully balanced.... this is the one for you!

RRP $50 down to $xx_/btl in a 6pk - (Black Market price ask me)

96pts Wine orbit

RRP $50 down to $xx_/btl in a 6pk - (Black Market price ask me)

Champagne method | 95 Wine Orbit

This is absolutely comparable to champagne, it's complex and briochey, with a beautiful bright fruit, and fine moussey bubbles. It's drinking incredibly, and it's absolutely what the Vinomofo Staff are obsessing over! I think we cracked about 18 bottles in the office over the EOFY celebrations... oops!



15. Pipers Brook Late Disgorged Vintage Cuvée 2017, Tassie Only 40 cases

RRP $55 down to $42.50/btl in a 6pk

Hmmmm, some great food for thought - or drink for think... And if you don't mind, I think I'll perch beside you there and wait optimistically for a coupon code. By the way, what is the name of your broker, if you don't mind me asking? I had my own personal broker once upon a time but we've since grown apart... Would you recommend your wine broker to a weary-headed fellow mo fo?

Drop me a DM and I will share her email. I am sure she wouldn't mind. I would recommend as more information is always better but there is a lot of cough to go thru before you find your golden nugget. So patience and a fine tooth comb are required

Hi ThatWineGuy. Leaving Release Sale aside, but if you're interested in good reds. I recently bought a dozen each of Sorby Adams Parish Hall St Hugh's & St Boniface 2021. $16.50/bottle from memory. Sorby sells them @ $60 a pop, which itself is not unreasonable given how well they are made. We've now tried one of each. Already drinking very well. Bargain in my not so humble opinion.Just let them breathe well first.

Durif 2022 - Black Market Deal #57155​

Must admit I sent my sixer back, found it a bit underwhelming but as always YMMV...

Is it just me or have the avatars become freakishly large of late?

 

[beefarmer]

A hearty Durif would have bolstered your constititution down in beautiful yet cold Tassie. A shame, but you at least Veni Vidied and Vamoused the five remaining rascals back to the Fo. Such a great policy as we all know. I must say I bought myself a 6 er as a New Years Present. Twas the Barossan 2022 Sheeraza , I wanted something a little bit newer and although the RRP was allegedly $45, I think it hit the scales or hit my credit card after being shot by two time Oscar winner Tom Hanks. He won both back to back, amazing. Ben Murray Wines read to my like a love letter enticing me and seducing me with such temptation that I could not resist. My puckered lips have yet to savour the flavour but I hope I will not be be jilted and my experience reminiscent of so many Tinder temptresses that went terribly wrong. For those who ask, no I have never availled my self. Tinder to me is something that I stoke my fireplace with and i know there's a gag in there somewhere but my wife would desert me faster than Billy Browlesses' wife, fair dinkum. Of to Olivigna for the brother in laws family soiree. He's payin' , we're stayin'. Cheap day out , well sorta, his pressie wasn't cheap. I hope WandD that something else piques your enthusisam. Another setback, hec life is so like that but That Wine Guy has the right idea. Keep drinkin !

Ahhh BF you've lost none of your bonhomie, chutzpah and savoir faire, as my dear old mum would say I'm starved for the sight of you Joe Pass by Khezelik on Apple Music that's my eldest on the beats, as a certain Mr Gunston would say "truly ruly". At least the 2022 Shiraz may have lifted the scales from thine eyes, if not the baker's thumb from your Salter's. I have cultivated a flavour-saver underneath my own puckered bottom lip, nothing as gauche as Ray Charle's own iteration but it suffices. As far as Tinder goes the tinder is dry but the match is unlit in oh so many ways. A bit like my 'Fo buying achievements, up and down like a wh*re's drawers. Mostly they still deliver (VM) occasionally down by the letterbox and sometimes outside my workshop but once in a lifetime (knew you'd get the allusion) right to my very door, keep clean but dirty just like DBC Pierre...

I think everything ably identified except I didn't notice 58487? Glen Eldon 2023 Twisted Trunk Reserve. Another big wine in your long list of big wines! I've seen reference to Amex deals several times, perhaps it's time to once again get Amex...

For those who wish to take advantage of the AmEx deal but can't see attractive current VM wine offers, consider purchasing $300 in small denomination VM gift cards for future use.
