Tahbilk 2021 'Old Vines' Cabernet Shiraz
Halliday 95 Points | Enjoy Now to 2030/2036 | 14.0% Alcohol
Blessed as we are on the Estate with significant old vine plantings, and the character that these mature vines bring, then an ‘Old Vines’ release from a highly rated vintage is eagerly anticipated. Richly flavoured and expressive, bay leaf, mint and tobacco aromas are joined by plum and berry fruits on a sinuous palate, with time in oak adding further intricacy to an impressive release that will realise added character with time in the bottle.

The colour has lightened with bottle age and now more of a light to medium pale ruby.
Incredibly classic and unique aged Tahbilk aromas. Dried plum, burnt sage bush and milled sawdust. The tannins have softened and are well integrated into the palate where you will find supple and juicy red fruit, lovely white pepper, clove and nutmeg spice lingering on. Still got a little bit of give with acidity in check, enjoy over the next 10 years ... easily!

Tahbilk 2022 Shiraz
Halliday 94 Points | Enjoy Now to 2035/2039 Plus | 14.5% Alcohol
A few swirls of the glass has ripe plum, blackberry and violet aromas coming through, with white pepper and boysenberry rounding out the nose.
The palate has a surprising initial softness … the tannin glides across the back. There is a tart cranberry acidity that knocks the balance off making it a little bit more crunchy drinking young but will do okay with a bit of age under its belt. Very much a cool climate style Shiraz which is reflective of the 2022 vintage.
Drink now over the next 2 years, rest for the following 3-5 years, then enjoy for the next 10 years.
