Review Date: 07/2021It is amazing how this unfurls in the glass. As if those old vines have a point to make - not so much look at me rather, I am all about grace. Everything is just so. The red and blue fruits, the dash of spices and the cedary oak that's tucked in well. It's medium-bodied yet there's length once the supple tannins finish gliding across the palate. (JP)

Notes
Established in 1860, Tahbilk is one of Australia's most iconic and historic family-owned wineries. Located in the Nagambie Lakes sub-region of the Goulburn Valley in central Victoria (about 75 miles north of Melbourne), Tahbilk is a winery that “should be visited at least once by every wine-conscious Australian,” as Jeni Port of the Halliday Wine Companion recently wrote. Most well-known for their seriously old vines — Marsanne planted in 1927 and pre-phylloxera Shiraz planted in 1860 — Tahbilk also presents serious value, offering incredibly well-made wines for very reasonable prices. A true piece of Australian wine history, the wines of Tahbilk should be on every wine collector’s radar.
