Re: Giant Squid Ink Estate Grown Reserve Shiraz 2010

I bought 6 of these from an online liquidator for about $40 a bottle instead of the $150 that it normally is. Looked for more after it arrived but it had disappeared quickly. Thanks to the Halliday app I can usually ID most of the "mystery" wines reliably. This one got me excited because ...

Re: Barossa 2014 Release - For cellaring

Thanks rens for the great feedback!
Actually my first child born in 2014 so wanted to store some nice wine for her 18th!

Barossa 2014 Release - For cellaring

Dear All I am looking for a great Barossa Shiraz 2014 to cellar for anywhere between 15 and 20 years however I am not sure how to go about it.
