The emperor of Curtis Winery, Tiberius comes from 60 year old vines off their most treasured blocks. Here fruit quality is second to none with the halo of blackberries, cassis and pomegranate seeds leaping from the glass. Gathered scoops of rich brown soil, twigs of rosemary and fresh poured espresso. There is an added sparkle of raspberry on the palate with a slippery mouth feel, that is lively as it is impressionable. Some Christmas cherries and black cardamom spice round out the full but elegant mouthfeel. There is plenty to discover over time here, so decant and settle in. A simple but very good quality cheddar will highlight its personality nicely. Drink now or cellar for another 6-8 years further.
