Off dry, fruity and fresh.
Light fruity flavour which lingers long in the mouth. Very easy to drink - enough interest to enjoy and taste on its own (but think it would pair well with a selection of cheese). Perfect on a warm and muggy Melbourne summers evening. Would like to try more…

Great depth of flavour and vivid colouring - could mistake for a Shiraz in the glass. Built for long haul.

Plenty of fruit still and has developed into a nice smooth finish- drinking very well now.

Nice depth of flavor and body here with a crisp acid edge on the finish.

Amazing wine, from a great vintage and now drinking at or close to its best.

Amazingly smooth drinking wine - at it's peak now.

Needs more time in bottle - but everything there to make it great.

2/13/2015 - GEllis Likes this wine:

Ten years young - has not faded, perfect balance of fruit and tannins. Will hold for a while yet.

This is drinking very well now. Don't expect it to gain much from further cellar time.

1/11/2015 - GEllis Likes this wine:

Great now - will get even better with some further cellar time.

6/15/2014 - GEllis Likes this wine:

Very delicate and light wine reflecting the 2011 vintage conditions - enjoyable, but would drink now, not expecting this to develop much more.

4/27/2014 - GEllis Likes this wine:

Fantastic wine - brooding, long finish with plenty still to give.

4/20/2014 - GEllis Likes this wine:

Continues to evolve nicely, but is drinking very well now. Will drink the remainder over the next couple of years.

Sublime

Powerful - softened and opened up on day 2, will improve with more time.

Excellent TAS pinot - expect this to improve further with some age.

Magnificent new world claret - delicious.

Big brooding wine - built to last.

Lovely light and crisp white wine - quite a bit of citrus and good acidity. Not a heavy wine - was very enjoyable with our fish. Bargain buy for a summer white.

11/5/2013 - GEllis Likes this wine:

Very powerful, opened up more the next day - but not overpowering. Will cellar well for a while yet.

Fantastic wine - holds it own against the classic Barolos.

Drank better in the evening after several hours of breathing - may yet improve further with a little more cellar time.

Last bottle - now past its best.

A magnificent pinot - smooth, great length and depth of flavour. A heavier style but far from over powering. Plenty of good years ahead for this one.

A magnificent pinot - drinking well now but with plenty of life ahead.

2/22/2013 - GEllis Likes this wine:

Amazing depth of flavor - will open up further if given time.

2/22/2013 - GEllis Likes this wine:

Fantastic depth of flavor with a smooth finish. Drinking well now but would expect this to continue to evolve over next couple of years. Will have to find another and hold off on the 2009 for a while.

Drinking well now - still plenty of fruit but very smooth finish. Decanted before drinking - still plenty of life left in this, but doubt will improve much more.

Great robustly structured Pinot - needs time to develop and show its class. Will hold off on next bottle for a while - if I can resist.

2/27/2012 - GEllis wrote:

Deep colour and flavors to match. A bit young and developed beautifully in the glass. Will evolve further given time - I will open the next bottle in 12 months.

Great wine with many years ahead - will be interesting to see how this evolves. Decanted for a good hour - opened nicely but will hold off for a year before trying the next one.

Fantastic aged Shiraz - a great reminder of the value in both the 128 and 28 Bin ranges. Buy up and cellar - never disappoints. Bought this 10 years ago for $22 - now drinking like a wine costing several times more.

Great balance - needs more time to fully develop. Very smooth drinking, opened in the glass and gave a hint of the great things to come. Whilst lovely now will wait a couple of years before opening the next one.

Nice dry style - good acidity, will benefit from some extra age.

Fantastic and still plenty of life left. Shows the great value in Tahbilk and how these wines are built to last and improve. Wish I had more.

Plenty of life left in this wine. Excellent depth of flavour but with that smooth finish that comes with age.

Very light colouring but no lack of depth in flavour - very easy drinking.

Very nice fruit - has aged gracefully. Deep colour retained and opened up nicely over dinner. Still plenty of life left in this.
