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.

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.
