Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

A fine, firm and elegant cabernet with pleasing length and structure. Its delicate earthy perfume of cassis and dark plums overlies nuances of mint and menthol, while its palate offers more in the way of primary fruit sweetness than typically seen in Tahbilk reds. Supple and fine-grained, with bright and juicy small berry and plum-like flavours framed by powder-fine tannins, it’s long, evenly balanced and harmonious.

Winery

Tahbilk
Tahbilk is an historic vineyard and winery on the banks of the Goulburn River in central Victoria. The winery is blessed with large old cellars replete with very large old cooperage, which Alister Purbrick feels is essential to the make-up and identity of Tahbilk red wine. So to some extent Tahbilk is a museum piece -Ę to visit and to taste -Ę but this simply lends individuality and character. The estate is home to some significant old vineyards responsible for such regional classics as the 1860s Vines Shiraz and the 1927 Vines Marsanne, each of which can produce vintages of rare quality and longevity.
