| Notes | ABOUT THE WINE Established in 1860, Tahbilk is located in the premium central Victorian region of Nagambie Lakes. Purchased by Reginald Purbrick in 1925, his son Eric took over management of Tahbilk in 1931. Heading the winemaking for over 40 vintages until handing over to his grandson Alister in 1978, Eric was one of the early pioneers of varietal labelling in Australia and continued to be a strong influence in the direction of the Estate until his passing in 1991. Perhaps his greatest contribution to Tahbilk was to create the ‘Special Bin’ Shiraz in 1948 which was to be made, and continues to be made, from the best vats of a particular vintage. In 1952 a ‘Special Bin’ Cabernet Sauvignon was added to the range with both releases becoming known as ‘Reserve’ in 1985. In recognition of his achievements, these ‘best of a vintage’ wines now carry his name and signature … Eric Stevens Purbrick. Tasting Note: “A ‘best of a vintage’ Cabernet Sauvignon that has all the hallmark characters of the Estate. Vibrant blackcurrant fruit, dark cherry and eucalypt notes with subtle cigar and tobacco hints, the palate is generous in flavour and richly complex with firm, structured tannins on a finish of impressive length. A release that has great potential to develop added complexity with careful cellaring. Drink Now to 2030+” |
