Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Rustic and even a little plasticky, the extraction here is a bit raw and it shows – I’d love some more elegance. Still, the fruit underneath is quality and the drying finish is even, suggesting (as usual) this will be a very solid drink in a decade.

This Tahbilk Cabernet Sauviginon 2012 is very much a wine for the future, not quite now.

Details: 13.7%, Screwcap, $25.70
Tasted: May 2015 (sample)
Drink 2018-2030
Score: 16.5/20, 88/100
Would I buy it? Not yet.

Needless to say, I discovered wine, and my life evolved with a unique dual focus - wine and the environment.
