I think DM is price beating Coles/Liquorland in this deal. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/236993
Tried the merlot, IMHO, quite drinkable. The lady at the counter said it can be drunk now, but I think it might do with a few years in the cellar.

Hmm… looks interesting. My favourite type of wine.. cheap and good. Lol. Perfect to go with the Superman vs Batman Blu-ray when it comes out?
It should have aged well by then…

Cab sav and semi sav blanc are quite reasonable!
I was pleasantly surprised when I was served those at a wedding.

Was the VB warm ??
Hahaha. The first time I believe I've had the pleasure of a direct response from you jv!
FWIW I wasn't blown away, but they were pleasant quaffers with chicken/steak.
If you must know, the beers served were Little Creatures Pale Ale, Asahi & Corona/Sol…if there was in fact VB present, hopefully it was being used to pin-down the marquee.

That explains why they could only afford Rawsons Retreat..
This stuff is nasty, simple at that. If you don't like spending much on wine, I suggest https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_99141/zonin-regions… for $6.65 - it goes well with food and doesn't have a nasty taste that this rawsons stuff has. Apparently Christopher Rawson Penfold used to bath in Bin 28 and then his bathwater was used to make Rawsons retreat.
My tongue cannot tell the difference. I have only tried the merlot and it taste like a merlot. A bit young but I cant really tell between this and a more expensive merlot. Will give your suggestion a try. Purely for comparison purposes of course. ;)
There was a time when I thought anything in a 2 litre cask was a bit special and bottled wine was for special occasions (Rawson's was a lot cheaper back then but I thought it was great).
If you looking for a drinkable $5 red try Wine Men of Gotham Shiraz
