February 17, 2012 - 2012 Sydney Royal Wine Show - Exhibitor's Tasting (Olympic Park, Homebush): Bronze medal. {screwcap} Essence of blueberried shiraz; always a characteristic of Tahbilk’s reserves, but it always has great purity and is never sweet or a ‘bomb’. Chocolate/blueberry flavours, along with a touch of eucalypt and some smokiness. High powdery tannins hint at its aging aspirations, even though they don’t seen to be oak-derived; indeed the oak component of the wine is quite discreet. Overall, medium-bodied, with an nicely even palate, and a medium length finish; quite drinkable now, but best to wait for some complexity to emerge with time (especially in view of the $60+ price tag).

The medium-weight palate is in the Tahbilk style; medium-bodied, chalkily-tannined, with minimal oak evident. Nevertheless, the palate does develop positively exotic liquorice & blueberry flavours, but always well-behaved. The lightest seasoning of cedar is all the contribution the oak really makes. A relatively understated wine, but one possessed of a long even finish, which bestow upon it a distinctly classy aura. It gets a medal from me, at least.
