$130 is expensive for wine but Old Bastard is top shelf and usually priced much higher, seems like a deal.
Shipping is free at the moment.
2006 is a good vintage for Barossa according to http://www.langtons.com.au/tools/VintageChart.aspx
For comparison, Dan Murphy is selling the 2005 for $224.99 per bottle.
Only catch is need to buy 6 but you can always return the rest if you're not happy.

This wine speaks to me
… and says spend the $130 a bottle elsewhere lol
Jokes aside, i quite like Kaesler's Bogan which is ~$30
In the $100-150 range my favourite is Brokenwood Graveyard which can be had for ~$120ish
brick dust and powdered rust, just what i want in a red
It's a competitive price per bottle, but can't really justify forking out $780…
"This offers an aroma of chocolate-covered prunes stewing on the stove, along with notes of brick dust, black currant preserve, fresh espresso and powdered rust. Powerfully tannic and very heady, with layers of overripe fruit on the finish. Drinks like a Bual Madeira infused with black truffles, yet it somehow manages to maintain a sense of freshness. Amazing, but not for everyone. Drink now through 2025."
This would surely compliment the Yemeni coffee from a few days ago - brick dust and rust coupled with stone roofs and inherent wildness:

"Cupping notes : This new Matari has intense floral and chocolate flavours. Spicy and fruity aromas with a great spicy sweet finish. Its sure to make an impression!
Yemen is one of the world’s bastions of natural processing. One of the first places in the world to ever produce coffee commercially, it has always been dry processed, due to the lack of water in the arid mountains. Coffee is typically handpicked from semi-wild plantings, and dried on the stone roofs of village houses. Our Yemen Matari undergoes extensive sorting for an unusually clean cup. “Mukha” is the old port of Yemen, from which this famous coffee has long been exported, leading the common name of “Yemen Mocha”.
Yemen coffees have an unmistakeable character, a depth and intensity in its fruit driven flavours and a rich, creamy body which few coffees can match. There is a certain wildness inherent in Matari coffee also, reminiscent of the early days of trade and exploration, the experience of coffee in a regional souk or street cafe."
