Have had this highly recommended by a number of people who suggest it might be…

No guarantees of course ;)
Shameless request to use my referral link so that we each get $25 store credit.

I should add, $120 it may not be but the cheapest I can find it is about $87/bottle at Crackawines
Both referrer and referee will receive $25 credit on first purchase. Referral codes should be entered as a discount code when ordering. Orders to Northern Territory are not eligible.
Reckon it's rounding. Also the Bethany has the 94 points from halliday.
They don't usually round it. The MSV also has 94 from Halliday, is $120 from the producer, has the right alcohol.
fair enough, sorry about that I tried to find the Halliday rating but couldn't find the damn thing. Deal deletion time!
actually hang on, that looks like a screw cap? but vinomofo lists a cork?
It seems to come in both, probably the cork was intended for export - see http://huonhooke.com/wine/145460 where someone bought some under cork.
There's some wild speculating going on for this one. Quite the risk to be posting it as a deal!
yeah sorry about that, I honestly had a hot tip from a mate, but it seems he could be wrong! I'd delete the post if I could, mind you I find the speculation intriguing enough!
Whatever it is, I bought it. Rare to get 2006 vintage barossa shiraz for $36 a bottle.
I like your style +1 good sir
also you should be able to trust it's been cellared appropriately too
What is your opinion of the wine? Live up to expectations?
Yep I thought it was great. Perfect drinking now!
On the Vinomofo site it says Cellaring: 2020. Do you think I can keep it for another 3-4 years or will the wine deteriorate?
I would drink in the next couple of years - doesn't taste young and is unlikely to get significantly better imo.
It is the Bethany GR11, not the MSV.
How do you know?
I or my Forum members can work out almost all of the VM mystery deals, often within about 10 minutes. Usually via the quoted reviews/points and other details, sometimes a bit difficult, this one was easy if you have access to right information.
Correct. Massive benefit of being a redbigot subber is that you never have to guess what you're getting.
VM broker also confirmed it is the Bethany GR11.
Thanks OP, just ordered a 6 pack.
What is your opinion of the wine? Live up to expectations?
Have not received it yet. Takes a week longer to Perth plus there was some date specified in the Vinomofo deal for shipping which was some time after purchase date. Should have it his week.
I feel like it may be the Murray Street Vineyards 2006 Sophia Shiraz. The alcohol on the Bethany doesn't match.
