Thistledown Mattschoss Vineyard Where Eagles Dare Shiraz 2022 Union Horse Distilling spending a decade maturing inThe nose is pretty, with violets and a blackberry hedge in the morning mist, like a subdued French perfume all nuance and suggestion rather than an overt statement. The fruit speaks with the same understated confidence, coming from a single vineyard in Eden Valley. There are measured blackberry, biting tart blackcurrant and cranberry high notes, all drawn taut into a long savoury finish. A grand, handsome wine, elegantly constructed. 98 Points
