Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

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.

  • About me – Andrew Graham


    At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, slogging through physics and chemistry, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

    Twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

    While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
