Anyone tried the 08 WR Barossa Shiraz yet?

Was out of stock earlier in the week in my local. I am going to the Waitrose website to remind me what they stock.

funnily enough, I was putting together a shortlist online
The Barossa Shiraz is out of stock there too

and the Shelmerdine all of a sudden has vanished from the wine list when it was there just a minute ago !

I've got 4 bottles of the 08 at home from when it was last on offer recently

If my local has got some more I'll open a bottle to check that it's worth grabbing another armful

btw... has anyone tried the Waitrose Valdavieso Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon ?

Ive had the one from Sainsburys, I think, will check.

Shelmerdine 09 only in my store. I have a solitary bottle of the 08.

I hope they do get in the barossa shz as this was making up the bulk of my order

cheers GK.

though I guess there will be some differences in the same way there is on the Barossa Shiraz (WR & St Halletts knocks the socks off Sains & St Halletts)

Think I'm gonna give a few of the WR in partnerships a go: Douro Valley Quinta de la Rosa, Chile Cab & maybe a couple more Barossa if they've got 'em in stock at my local

will take a couple along to neighbour's footy BBQ on Saturday


Edit: Tribs I've only got the 1 bottle of the 08 Shelmerdine left too. Think my local had a couple left on the shelves when I last visited a couple of weeks back so will keep my fingers crossed.
That said, I think this is best time to stock up on some Craggy Range Te Muna PN (Duncan, take it you'll be getting involved?)

Shez,

I picked up Te Muna SB and a load of La Courrone St Emillon and Chat Picard St Estephe from majestic, then ordered some MSB from Laithwaites on offer with a voucher and a couple of 2005 Nuit Saint Georges 1er.
Now the - Terres Blanches 2005 Hospices de Nuits Saint Georges prem cru . The order with bin ends was changed - not complaining - so I got upgraded to this, and just could not resist this wine on the vintage '05

Sadly, I cant take up that CR te Muna PN - my budget for June is busted just now.

Always happens at the same time. That posh NSG is not properly ready till 2015

On the back of the NY stag do, I have Ruby's 5th birthday to pay for later this month (Kids parties and presents are astronomical nowadays !! ) and the car needs a service and probably new brakes (hoping just pads but think discs could do with changing too) and also wanted to get a few things to tweek it up to ~380/380 (bhp/torque)

Still, I can't resist a bargain so no doubt with pick up a mixed 12 from waitrose.
Really need to get me some will power !

I bought the Barossa St Hallett/WR shiraz last time they had it on offer - early May. Took it to a friend's for supper and loved it. I didn't write a note, though, and so am not sure of the vintage.

The only bottle I have is a 2007, but don't know how long I've had it. I see, from looking back at the May offer that it was 2007/08, which doesn't help at all.

Someone go and taste it. OK, will go tomorrow as need to shop. Will report back. If I had an iPhone I could do it from the car park.

I also bought a Bacchus. I have loved it in the past, and fully expect to love it again. When you say "I'm coming for you" I don't feel threatened at all. However, I will love it and so you'll have no excuse.
