Curtis Family Vineyard Tiberius McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021 scores 94 points in WBM. “	
It weighs in at the bolder end of the scale, a fully fledged, muscular red though with balance on its side. There’s lavish oak and subsequent spice however that sits well in the dark, brooding, plush and plummy fruit characters. Sweet spice too, touches of liquorice and black olive. A gravelly tannin riff and a long, chewy, firm finish. Dense and deep, done well.“ $500. @curtisfamilyvineyards @mclaren_vale #dense #deep #done #well #94 ❤️🙌
