Tahbilk 2018 'Eric Stevens Purbrick' Shiraz
Enjoy Now to 2033/2038 | 14.5% Alcohol
When crafting wines from only the best Estate fruit available from a vintage noted for bright, true-to-varietal Reds with concentration and depth then the anticipation is high. 2018 ‘Eric Stevens Purbrick’ Shiraz absolutely delivers. Ripe dark and red berry fruits are nuanced with liquorice, earth and ground black pepper notes. Savoury oak characters and seamless tannins contribute a truly distinctive release. Cellaring to 2033/2038 will realise further complexity.

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.
