    2/3/2021 - Likes this wine:

    This was singing. The cork was in great condition, no sign of seepage.
    The wine was polished and had the trademark tahbilk nose.
    Few markers of cabernet, which I enjoyed.
    The wine is drinking at peak, and a great value. Graphite, cedar, savoury moreish.

    Drink up, no upside anticipated.
    Decanting and sieving recommended. Heavy sediment.

    Lots of bottle variation. 1 of 3 was good. The others were too old.
    Drink up

    Nouveau Tasting Group (Andrew M's)(07/08/2009) (Andrew M's): Nouveau Tasting Group @ Andrew M's: wine 4

    Note: Opened 7 days early, racked & recorked under gas.

    Colour: Dark Garnet
    Nose: Sweet tobacco, light spice, lift, dark blackberry, dried grass & hay. A lot going on
    Palate: Vibrant & alive with great length & redcurrant fruit. Very subtle tannins that dry slightly but well balanced

    13%. All agreed the wine was absolutely at its peak. What old Tahbiliks are reputed to be!

    Clear pale red/brick core of moderate intensity out to a mahogany edge and browning rim - Developed
    Clean nose of moderate+ intensity of light fruit, worchestershire, alcohol, charcoal, lifted earth, cloves - developed and complex bouquet
    Dry wine with birght acids that are fully integrated and some lifted flavours with some volatility and tobacco notes - fully developed. Moderate+ acids, mod to mod- body, mod alcohol and mod- fully developed tannins.
    The finish is very long with cognac notes.
    Fully mature - has definitely hit it's peak and is delicious. Would not have liked to wait for any further development but is delicious now - could have sniffed the aromatics all evening. Not bad for $13 in 1987!
