Thistledown Bachelor's Block Shiraz Ebenezer Barossa Valley
Stains the glass like a true Barossa Shiraz. A nose of cassis, iodine, ink, pencil shavings, cooked plum, cold ash, black cherry and coconut. Ultra full-bodied on the palate, this is a massive wine with huge array of flavours and concentration, speaking of ancient vines and miniscule yields. The fruit encompasses a spectrum from blackberry to floral to herbaceous, while the acidity and tannins are up to the job of supporting this youthful and impenetrable wine. 2030-2040 – MP
Thistledown Where Eagles Dare Shiraz Mattschoss Vineyard Eden Valley, Barossa
Lovely and lifted on the nose, with a cool, menthol note alongside plum, black cherry, kirsch and vanilla. The palate speaks of its provenance, revealing some attractive minty notes overlaid with blackberry and cassis. This is a versatile Shiraz from a cool site that, although more restrained than some Thistledown juggernauts, still packs a decent punch. 2030-2040 – MP
