I've had this before and loved it!! A great price for a great wine.
It's a 2006 Bethany Reserve GR11 Shiraz and it usually sells for a fortune compared to this price

Just bought one. Thanks.
Bought a box about 3 weeks back at this price.
This is a great wine and unmatched at this price
Same here, if I hadn't just paid my tax bill yesterday I would have a huge shipment on its way to me just now
What does the bottle look like? Can someone send me a photo so i can confirm?
I'm away from home just now, sorry no pictures
Ah forget it. I ordered it. $33.33 for a 2006 vintage is a bloody bargain.
I used your referral link.
Cheers for that, I've noticed my credit balance has gone up by $75, cheers to the other people and enjoy the wine

Good '!' or bad '!'
For me its not a good or bad '!' its a great '!'!!!
as a true OZB'er, I'll ask can I get anything better or much better than this for same or cheaper price~!
there're some new vintage 97 or 96 pts ones by more than one critique - ie Blackwell for $30.
The only reason I bought it is because this deal was posted last month and it went out of stock really quickly.
@jamesx if you are on about St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2012 James Halliday scored it 97pt but also 94pt and others have scored it 92pt.
The Cellar-Tracker community have it at 92.6pt's
see the reviews and accolades here:

If you want to buy it the cheapest I have seen is $27.99 here:

It will get better with age, but it does need cellaring, think of the 2006 Bethany Reserve GR11 Shiraz as a wine that has already been cellared and can be drunk now
The question is how well was it cellared? I bought a sixer from the previous VM offering, and had 2 bottles. It's okay. But not a $125 wine, and because it has cork it probably has to be drunk now, so I won't get more.
It also only scored a few silver medals, and didn't set me world on fire. The Amelia Park Reserve Shiraz was much better, in my opinion, but this is also not too bad.
I got 2 cases of the Amelia Park and my tastes must be different to you as it was not even close to 2006 Bethany, or as you said you might have got a badly stored case, mine was fine though
How many years do you think I can cellar these bottles for? I don't plan on drinking it anytime soon.
Wine Companion says drink by 2016. Bethany website has it as ageing potential of 10-15 years. It's under cork, so not much longer. It may be drinkable for a while yet, but probably after it's peak window.
Oh make no mistake. It was still a nice drop. Just lacked a bit of oomph. I felt the 2010 AP Reserve had greater depth and complexity.
Agree with this. Its a much better drop than the Amelia Park and easily worth $80 a bottle. At $36 I just bought it again! (In hindsight I probably shouldn't have bought so much Wynns Black Label Shiraz)

Yep, I took a punt on this one. Could be super value for a cellared wine. 2006 was a great year for Barossa Shiraz and I hope that it can stand up to a few more years of cellaring as well. Notes: http://wineco.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Bethany-GR11…
This is an excellent price for some really fantastic wine.
I actually bought 2 bottles of this vintage from the cellar door about 2 years ago and they were $75 each iirc. Drank both in the prior 12 months.
Bethany Winery also do some really good port if you're ever in the region.
Good to know about the port, will have to pop in when i'm over next!
I knew it would go quick, that's it sold out now!!!
The cheapest I can find this for outside of Vinomofo is $83 per bottle!!
