Mattinson review of Lienert Vineyards Dos Bros Shiraz 2021.

Lienert Vineyards Dos Bros Shiraz 2021
$50, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Barossa Valley.

This is a strong, muscular shiraz with dark, brooding blackberry flavours thread deftly with earth, roasted spice, cedarwood and vanilla cream characters. There’s an asphalt-like edge here but the fruit itself is luscious, sweet, ripe and impressive, the firmness of the finish the correct complement to the sizeable wave of warm fruit flavour. This is still a pup; it has years of development ahead of it. 93+ points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
