Thistledown The Cunning Plan Shiraz Langhorne Creek, Australia 2016 750 ml
94 pts James Halliday, 90 pts Wine Enthusiast The youthful colour has the depth to promise abundant black fruits, whole berry fermentation underlining the promise. It has the succulence of Langhorne Creek, but with a raft of flowery/spicy notes not so common in the region. Mocha oak adds another dimension, cuddling up to the plump tannins. Hedonistic? You bet.
