 Tasted by Benj on 3/19/2021 & rated 89 points: Hello old friend. Like rain in a spring garden. Fresh wet-green, honeysuckle, lemon oil, elastic band/rubber. These wines age gorgeously so I've never had one so young before. I will say...it's a tad sulfurous in its youth, but also fresh, simple, undemanding. Drink now for easy summer pleasure or hold 5-10 years for a study in graceful maturity. Good to see Tahbilk seemingly getting wider distribution in the U.S. 12%, $13. (1172 views)
 Tasted by Oberhau on 10/29/2020 & rated 92 points: I echo all of the positive and eloquent notes about this wine; just a few additional observations: very surprisingly low alcohol for a wine with such substantial aroma, body, taste and finish. Good alone and with food. Looking forward to comparing this with the 2013 1927 vines version. (1179 views)
 Tasted by VinnieVeritas on 8/14/2020 & rated 88 points: Good now, better in a few years. (1254 views)
 Tasted by mat600 on 8/2/2020 & rated 80 points: Pas prêt car le vin est acide avec peu de corps et de gras. Une déception. 80 sur 100. (1203 views)
 Tasted by Chateau-de-Plonk on 4/26/2020 & rated 89 points: Inviting nose. Lots of white flowers, peach and slightly stony.
Great texture and minerality on the palate. More florals and peach and a subtle white nut note.
There is great balance and poise to this wine. Acidity is perfect. Refreshing but not too tart.
This would be excellent with a few years on the clock. (1347 views)
 Tasted by cono_sur on 1/28/2020 & rated 89 points: Ripe, fresh, and floral aromatics lift out of the glass along with lemon citrus and orange rind notes adding complexity. The medium+ bodied palate is nicely textured with crisp, refreshing acidity and ripe flavours that mimic the nose, plus notes of Flintstone vitamins, all lasting through to the long finish.

 Tasted by Avid Wino on 12/31/2019 & rated 90 points: An(other) excellent vintage... enjoyed this very much. Label note nails the particulars for now “bright jasmine and lemon scents on a juicy palate of tropical and citrus fruits underscored by a taut minerality” though of course this will develop in to something other and equally excellent given a few years rest in a cool dark place.
