So I got (in my preference order):
6 x Shiraz
6 x Shiraz Mataro
6 x Cabernet
6 x Cabernet Malbec

Besides the 24B, these are actually the top 5 of my preference (Shiraz Malbec would be my 5th favourite). I reckon Ms Brady had figured out my preference through our conversation.

Only $1734 (inclusive of freight charges), I am not sure if I even get a standard Shiraz this time round. :/

I called winery earlier to confirm that no 24B Shiraz for my order. Ms Brady advised there will be higher volume for 2023 vintage next year. Fingers crossed I will get an allocation of 24B by then.

From NSW, I am still waiting for my credit card to be charged I really wanted to get at least 2 bottles of 24B Shiraz

Hi mate,

Best wishes to your mother in law’s surgery, health and wellbeing always comes first before securing scarce wines.

Sydney-sider here, I only received mailer on 11/7/24, but I won’t be able to post order form out until next week as I currently don’t have access to printer and scanner until then (to keep record of order form). For the heads up, I called the winery and spoke with Ms Brady, she assured me that posti...

Sydney person here. Got my full allocation on all reds. Keen to try straight Mataro as it is like a novelty to me.

NSW red stripe. I ordered 6, CC got hit today for what looks like 4 bottles. Based on the dollars it seems like I missed out on the Shiraz Mataro this year. I rang last week. They've run out of Shiraz Mataro. Shiraz Mataro have been less loved than other wines in the previous vintages, which ironic...

I find the Muscat a bit light for my taste. $1200 damage so I presume I got full allocation of reds

I received my mail on 8/7/22, did not sent order form until 12/7/22, attempted to get 6 on all 3 reds (skipped Muscat), I’ve always preferred Shiraz Mataro over Shiraz Malbec, I still think their Malbec is better by itself.

Thank you Gavin for facilitating this wonderful forum, and Sam for keeping the torch alight. Kudos to you both wonderful human being. ^_^b

Rockford VP 2012 (750ml, unlike 2015 in 500ml - better value for the money). Notes: Aniseed, Blackberry, Cherry Kirsch and Cloves. Very hedonistic, rich and sweet fortified Shiraz, definitely worth $105 a pop.

Still, here we are at the suggestion of the wife and after a few rums it was time for a Chandon tasting ;...

I still have 2 bottles of 1998 Krug Vintage Brut to hold on to, I might try one out in late 2023 at its 25 year.

Plantagenet don't get a lot of mentions - I guess location is the enemy, which is a shame as there are some great wines coming out of Gt Southern. I did think the wines were nicely balanced for cellaring and would have confidence in your 15+ years prediction based on past form. My last bottle of Pl...

I got 2 Shiraz Mataro, 2 Shiraz Malbec, 2 Malbec, 2 Cab/Mal, and 4 Shiraz. Received on last Wednesday 18/8/21. Would have like to have another 6 bottle mix of Shiraz Blends, Malbec and Cab/Mal, as I am keen to sample each wines while they are new and observe the changes over mid to long term cellari...

I got the mail on Friday 9/7. Sydney sider here, humble red crayon stripe, will request each reds. Not sure if 2 business days delay would affect my allocation.

Got 5x S/Malbec, 6x S/Mataro, 4x Shiraz, 3 of each for the rest. Pleasant surprise for me despite low supply from this vintage. I would have to sample the Cabs and Malbec more sparingly.

My C/C was dented by $13xx. Could not quite figure out what's in the mix?
I would prefer receiving less for the Malbec and Shiraz Malbec as they are a tad subtle for my liking (though I only started ordering from 2012 vintage).
A thorough mix would be ideal.

Sydneysider here. Received letter on Tuesday 7/7 and posted order form on 8/7. Ordered 6 of each reds. I might call next week to check the mail. Let’s see what I will get.

Hi Alex,

I would be keen for the tasting if there are any spots left.

Michael

Received 6 out of 7 boxes (6 btl of each reds) on Monday 22/7/19, last one is Cab/Malbec went to wrong facility and coming on Wednesday 24/7/19.
Thanks AusPost for the messed up delivery!

I received my offer on 2/7/19 in NSW here. Today I just sent order of 6 of each except the Muscat. Fingers crossed!

Hi all,

I am on my way now. I shall be at La Mint by 6pm. Anyone getting there sooner?

I will bring Katnook Odyssey 98’. Hope that would make the WA and SA lineup more balanced.

Hi Team, I'm out! I've been sent to Melbourne on that date. My apologies I'm sure you were all looking forward to that 1998 Jamieson Run (cleanskin). Thankfully that reserve list is in play! So that allows mse into the fray. Think about your wines guys. Hi Hacker, Thanks for the heads up! Do we nee...

Hi Hacker, can you please Put my name in for the reserve? Thanks.

Got my 36 bottles this morning. Sydney based. Happy chap.

Hi all,

I just received the mailer on Friday 29th, Red crayon, I only got Shiraz blends and missed out the rest of 2015. Finger crossed that I can get 6 of each this time round.
