Tahbilk visit (Tahbilk winery): {cork, 13.5%, $A27} Aged, dusty old nose of leather polish and musty attics. The palate is medicinal and a touch bretty; still it’s quite velvety in texture, with gentle powdery tannins and medium acid. Medium bodied; it’s the drying tannins that linger on the finish. It’s OK, but just doesn’t quite hit the magic spot. On the other hand, and 15-year-old shiraz for $27 can’t be complained about too much. Ready to drink, needless to say.
