Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 THE BIG RED WINE BOOK 2010/11 BEST BARGAIN CABERNET SAUVIGNON (Screw Cap Closure) (Drink Now to 2021/2026) "Tahbilk’s higher priced reds can be terrific but when the ‘regular’ release is as good as this – at a fraction of the price – we can’t help but scream, Buy Up! It tastes of Cabernet, it tastes of the Nagambie Lakes region, and it tastes of Tahbilk – it’s instantly recognisable as all three. Tahbilk Cabernet has been on a roll of late but this release is fabulous. The Tahbilk Estate is now 150years old – and stronger than ever." Campbell Mattinson - The Big Red Wine Book This Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon from 2006 may have three years up its sleeve, but it still needs at least a couple more years to properly hit its drinking straps. It’s very tannic. Not overly so, but noticeably so. It’s also deliciously fresh and clean - if you can give it some time, I reckon it’s going to turn out beautifully. Notes of earth, violets, blackcurrant and eucalypt. As always, it’s as much a savoury style as it is a sweet-fruited style, though at the same time you wouldn’t call this release rustic. It’s just a medium-bodied red wine of excellent, understated quality. Drink : 2011 - 2019 93 points Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front Established 1860 at Nagambie Lakes, Tahbilk is one of Australia’s most scenic and historic wineries, with a tradition of producing one of Victoria's most reliable Cabernet Sauvignon. Tahbilk is blessed with an abundance of old vine plantings, including small, precious parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon dating back to 1949. The back label for our latest Cabernet Sauvignon release states "The nose and palate exhibit an intense mixture of eucalypt and spice combined with blackberry undertones whilst the finish is long and flavoursome, balanced with fine grape tannins." Whilst I was not responsible for writing the label, I couldn’t agree more – although I would have woven mint, tobacco and hints of capsicum amongst the descriptors. Still, it’s what your nose and palate tells you that counts! Tahbilk
