About this winei

Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon releases are crafted with a commitment to traditional winemaking values. Fermentation takes place in original open vats well over 150 years old, with maturation then in similarly aged large French oak prior to bottling. Smaller French and American oak barrels are also used, with the wine from these blended back during the final filtering and bottling.

Tahbilk Estate releases have consistently exhibited considerable richness and character. As young wines bright and fruit-forward aromas and flavours of forest herbs, black olive, eucalypt, blackcurrant and Asian spices and firm, but fine-grained, tannins are at the fore.

Then with age our history with the varietal supports the belief held by many experts that our Cabernet Sauvignon is the best performed of the Tahbilk reds in terms of ability to develop added character with time in the cellar. The tannins soften, earthy characters substitute for bright fruit but there is a complex and subtle fruit line that extends across the years.

In its youth beef and lamb, particularly with heavier more complex dishes and sauces, are go to classic food matches with Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon ... both meats would work well as it ages, but look to simpler dishes and sauces.

Tasting Notei

Tahbilk 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon
Enjoy Now to 2034/2037 | 14.0% Alcohol
Vibrant purple colour in the glass. Typical herbal characters shine through on the nose; eucalyptus, spearmint and cocoa nibs alongside delicate blueberry, blackberry and subtle rose florals.
Intense fruit immediately hits the palate; fresh blueberries, wild berries and blackberries. Tannins are tight … feeling a little green and youthful ... however this will even out with time.
The acidity is atypical of the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal. Herbaceous edges with tomato and blackberry leaf. The wine’s structure has all the elements to age well in bottle. Drink now and then age 12 years and reap the benefits.

Tahbilk 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
Halliday 91 Points | Enjoy Now to 2030/2033 | 14.0% Alcohol
Character and complexity define this bottle-aged Museum Cabernet Sauvignon.
Great colour development reflecting the 9 years spent in bottle. Aged, also known as secondary, characters immediately hit the nose. Forest floor, mulch, freshly picked mushrooms. The fruit is dried; dried blueberries, dried figs, dried goji berries. Subtle charred oak creating depth of aromas on the nose. Their is a youthfulness on the palate still shining through, lifted by tart blueberry and cranberry juice. More of the dried secondary notes on the palate ... savoury black truffle and charred oak. This aged Cabernet Sauvignon is full of complexity and tannins providing a lovely backbone to the wine which will keep it in good stead for up to 8 years.
