| Description: | 96 pts Top 100 James Halliday - A full-bodied shiraz that reflects cunning winemaking. Whole berry fermentation has put a rich gloss on the palate without overloading the tannin structure. The predominantly black berry fruit is shot through with licorice, spice and an airbrush of dark chocolate. Drink to 2039, screwcap, 14.5% alc 93 pts Nick Stock, JamesSuckling.com - smoothly delivered shiraz that has deep, fleshy and seductive appeal. The fresh blackberry, plum and mulberry aromas are nicely dosed with oak spice and deliver such soft, smooth style on the palate. Really effortless drinkability. Drink now. Screw cap. 92 pts Gary Walsh, The Wine Front - I tend to think of Thistledown as being Grenache specialists, but they turn out some pretty stylish Shiraz too. Floral with black fruit, chocolate and something like dried beef. A good dose of McLaren Shiraz here offering flavour with some restraint, a good amount of chewy texture, some spice and fruitcake on a solid finish. Tidy. Bronze Medal Royal Adelaide Wine Show 2020 |
