2022 Thistledown The Vagabond Grenache Blewitt Springs....$44.99
Blewitt Springs, an Australian grand cru equivalent. Old bush vines, as is the wont. Wild fermented with a good portion of whole bunches, some in concrete pyramids without agitation, before ageing in concrete and large neutral oak. Brilliant! Like a slinky, before release over the top step, as aromas and flavors of persimmon, Seville orange, rosehip, pomegranate and impeccably ripe cherry clafoutis unwind and expand with a rattle. Long. A sandy scape of gorgeous tannins. World class. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Rated 96/100 James Suckling
