Mattinson review of Curtis Family Vineyards Tiberius Shiraz 2021.

This wine stands to attention in the glass and, as it does, it commands its place in the world of wine. The essential message of this wine is that it’s rich, velvety and immaculate. It tastes of toast, intense plums, coffee, salted caramel, redcurrant, mint jelly and coconut, and for all its might, majesty and texture, it remains fresh and indeed, juicy. This wine has been made to cellar but you could easily drink it now, and love every sip. It has that balance. It’s a wine of indulgence writ large, but it’s also more-ish. 95 points.
