Rich and concentrated aromas of blackberry, eucalyptus and spice give to a full bodied palate of equal depth and complexity with an abundance of generous fruit flavours and hints of capsicum and tobacco.
Robust tannins will allow for a beautiful ageing process however perfectly suitable for drinking immediately, especially when paired with red meats as the flavour will cut through any fat.
James Halliday winery of the YEAR 2016
2013 Vintage: 94 Points - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion "Excellent crimson-purple hue; herb and bay leaf announce their presence on the bouquet, blackcurrant quickly following and taking control on the palate. A very successful Tahbilk Cabernet."
The Australian Wine Companion
A winery steeped in tradition (with National Trust classification), which should be visited at least once by every wine-conscious Australian, and which makes wines particularly red wines utterly in keeping with that tradition. The essence of that heritage comes in the form of the tiny quantities of Shiraz made from vines planted in 1860. Serendipitous, perhaps, but the current release wines are absolutely outstanding.
