Thistledown The Cunning Plan Shiraz 2023From McLaren Flat, matured in mainly seasoned French oak, with 10% new. Tart boysenberry and black cherry, wild raspberry, anise, faint vanilla bean, a little pepper, roasted coffee bean, some light floral notes, violet and the like. Like last year, theres an effortlessness about this wine, a mid weighted ease and supple texture, its composure and flow quietly compelling. 95 points Halliday Wine Companion (Marcus Ellis) The 2023 Cunning Plan Shiraz is
