Curtis Family Vineyards Ancestor Shiraz 2021
$180, 14.5% alcohol, DIAM cork, McLaren Vale.

This is the full box and dice. One sip and you’re convinced. It’s a heady, saturated wine with sweet plum flavours flooding the palate, along with mint, and chocolate, and mocha, and assorted toasty, woodsy, roasted spices. If there’s any such thing as a svelte, smooth explosion, this is it in a glass. 95 points.
