Thistledown “Thorny Devil” Grenache 2021

95 points Robert Parker
Aromas of savory spice, hung deli meat and blood fill the senses, but it is in the mouth where the purity and succulence of the fruit is revealed. This 2021 Thorny Devil Grenache is long and savory, sweet and fine, built into a framework of pliable tannin and exotic spice. Balanced and exciting.

94 points The Wine Front
Perfumed, spicy, cherry and raspberry, almond and Earl Grey tea. It’s medium-bodied, firm but ripe tannin with a graphite feel, kind of dry but succulent, raspberry and roses, with a pleasing tannic crunch and freshness to the long finish. Excellent Grenache. Invigorating.

93 points James Suckling
Dense aromas of baked red cherry, strawberry, black tea and rosemary. Full-bodied with succulent red fruit and spice. The silky tannins are well structured and guide the palate through an even-keeled finish. White pepper spice. Nicely composed.

92 points The Real Review
Deepish red/purple colour. Dried and fresh herbs to sniff, background jammy raspberries, the palate continuing the almost lush mouth-feel and fruit depth. It's quite intense and also fairly firm in the tannin department. Very good and has potential.

Lys med varme krydrede noter i næsen. Imødekommende og drevet af røde bærnoter, bagte krydrede noter og vanilje. Saftig lang afslutning.
