Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Rustic and even a little plasticky, the extraction here is a bit raw and it shows – I’d love some more elegance. Still, the fruit underneath is quality and the drying finish is even, suggesting (as usual) this will be a very solid drink in a decade.

This Tahbilk Cabernet Sauviginon 2012 is very much a wine for the future, not quite now.
