Tahbilk 2015 Centennial 'Old Block' Cabernet Sauvignon
Enjoy Now to 2040 Plus | 14.0% Alcohol
The vineyard team delivered outstanding fruit from vines averaging sixty years in age and this, combined with dedicated winemaking, delivered a wine that truly exemplifies the Tahbilk style.
A richly flavoured core of concentrated and pronounced mint, cassis and dark plum fruits are peppered with cigar box and sweet spice notes. The palate is silky smooth and impressive in length graced by finely grained tannins.
This wine will reap further complexity if cellared for a further 15 plus years from release in this centenary year.
Tahbilk 2018 'Eric Stevens Purbrick' Cabernet Sauvignon
Enjoy Now to 2038 Plus | 14.5% Alcohol
The 2018 vintage delivered bright and true-to-varietal reds with concentration and depth of flavour no better illustrated than with this ‘Eric Stevens Purbrick’ Cabernet.
Rich, black-currant and dark fruits, eucalypt notes and earthy, gamey characters immediately engage on the nose and palate where Asian five spice and savoury hints add further complexity. A truly sublime ‘best of vintage’ release that will reward those cellaring out to 2038 and beyond.
Tahbilk 2020 'Old Vines' Cabernet Sauvignon
Enjoy Now to 2029/2035 | 14.0% Alcohol
The marriage of Tahbilk’s wealth of older vine plantings and a stellar vintage producing remarkable reds of excellent colour and flavour, this 2020 ‘Old Vines’ Estate blending of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Shiraz is truly made in heaven.
Deep aromas and flavours of Asian five spice and floral hints alongside generous dark and red berry fruits are further graced by well-integrated cedary oak and fine but assertive tannins. A wine of great character and immediate enjoyment, additional complexity will be realised with further cellaring.
Tahbilk 2016 'Museum Release' Cabernet Sauvignon
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. There 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.

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.
