Curtis Tiberius Shiraz 2021

The use of the squat bot is becoming a little more widespread and the team have employed it for their elite McLaren Vale Shiraz, again from that stellar year of 2021. Wasn’t the old saying – good things come in small packages? Certainly applies here. The grapes were fully destemmed before a thirty day ferment on skins followed by three years maturation in French oak hogsheads. Under Diam. An inky maroon hue, this is tight and concentrated in structure with aromas weaving through plums, exotic spices, mulberries, chocolate, smoked meats, a touch of vegemite and mocha. A juicy palate, satiny tannins, there is serious length here. The palate sees the emergence of notes of bergamot and tobacco leaves. It really does have a very long finish. This can be enjoyed over the next ten to fifteen years.
