Tahbilk Old Vines Cabernet/Shiraz 2018

The wine is richly fruited and wonderfully complex, showing dark fruit intensity, cedary oak, dried herb and subtle cake spice notes on the nose. The robust palate delivers generous texture and fleshy mouthfeel, brilliantly complemented by spicy nuances and fine-grained tannins. It’s refined with opulence, making it delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2033. Score – 95. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Aug. 2022)
