Loacl boozer (pub) has these two bottles on their shelf at a tad under $60 and would be curious on any feedback regards these wines ?

Both of these are excellent examples of those labels and of Coonawarra, I've rarely had a bottle that didn't drink really well. All of the ones I've had have been well cellared.

I'd be a bit cautious about where the local pub got them from and where they've been stored for the last 10+ years. Maybe buy one and see how it drinks. Check for ullage levels of course and if there's a number of bottles, buy the highest level.

Peter, I'm assuming these are the musuem release from Lindemans. If that's the case there won't be any problems with the cellaring. I've got one which will be opened at a special dinner soon but I've bought it on the basis of very good reports.

Dexter,
You are correct I also purchased these wines recently as a musuem release, have not tried as yet.

Regards,
Ron.
