Want to but some of their Barossa Shiraz while its on offer. What do you reckon? should I replace a couple of bottles for some PL Clancy's? Is there anything else you guys would pick up at WR right now? |

If you haven't tried the Clancy, its worth grabbing a couple. See here Be aware it is a dark, complex beast. Sweet and fruity it ain't. I have a bottle of the Katnook FB Cab 06 on the rack that i haven't got around to yet. That is also on offer. Their Asda labelled Coonawara 06 is wonderful, so possibly worth a punt. Edit: GK, ha ha. You beat me to it

Great minds T
This is one I will go out of my way to collect, have just printed it off, if I cant get in I will send the wife to collect as she drives past the store every Saturday visiting her mom. Perhaps we have a contender for an online tasting? |

Are we talking about a PL Clancy's online tasting. Sounds great, but what vintage are they selling at the moment? I have a couple of 2006s. If they're still on those I'll get some more. Edit - hold on, the Clancy's isn't on offer atm. |

from what I've read I think we may be drinking this a bit early bbut the best way to ffind this out is to try one I guess MelJones wrote: Are we talking about a PL Clancy's online tasting.

Edit - hold on, the Clancy's isn't on offer atm Mel, the Clancy's is currently on offer at Waitrose too, tho likely to be a later vintage this time round. |

At least someone knows what's going on on the site. I thought I'd searched for it when I wrote the last post, obviously. Dur! |

In Waitrose today. I'd better give everyone the Store price details:- PL Clancy as ticketed on the shelf, is reduced from £8.99 to £6.99 (not 6.79 as calculated), so £1 more than last time's offer on the great '06 The vintage is 2008 The offer runs until Wednesday 9th June But for the vintage 2008 Shiraz:- Not judged a great vintage like '06 so maybe...... I thought this may be a slightly better deal for the same money: Waitrose Reserve Shiraz, St Hallett 2008 Barossa Valley, '07 not great either £6.99 in store. Shez - UR a St. Hallett follower, any comment ? However, you good folks Perhaps the Katnook coonawarra cab is a better bet on the '08 a better vintage than '08 Barossa and better conditions for Cab S. Sorry Ba - the wrong trousers |

Dunc, I bought 4 bottles of the waitrose barossa Shiraz along with the 2 katnook fb. mine were on an 08 label which I think got a similar rating to 06 iirc (8/10? - correct me if I've misread this) the 06 I previously tried were delicious so hoping it's the same case here and Mels statement that it's the best barossa Shiraz is enough of a sales pitch too waiting for my gate to open at heathrow ATM. Will likely be off line for a few days so bid you all a nice few days and will speak next week |
