2021 Thistledown Shiraz Barossa Valley The Quickening





2021 Thistledown Shiraz Barossa Valley The Quickening...$44.99
Now this is a treat. The cool 2021 season has really gifted the 2021 The Quickening Shiraz with detail, openness and poise, and the tannins emerge as being one of the true highlights. They are ultra fine and grippy, a little bit chewy, and serve to frame the fruit in such a way that they extend the line and length of the experience. I'm smiling as I type this, and I think that's a great sign that I like the wine very much. Delicious.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Advocate
Very bright shiraz with berry intensity, together with aromas and flavors crushed stones, asphalt and stone. Full and compact, with transparency and freshness. Red volcanic salt at the end. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
