Note de dégustation

Robe grenat moyen à foncé aux reflets pourpres. Le Shiraz Tahbilk 2010 s'ouvre sur un bouquet parfumé aux arômes de mûre blanche séchée, de prune noire et de confiture de mûres agrémentés d'un soupçon de bois de santal, de cinq-épices chinois et de pot-pourri. La bouche mi-corsée révèle de généreuses saveurs évoluées de fruits noirs et d'épices à gâteaux soutenues par une charge moyenne de tanins mâchus et une vive acidité. Longue finale. À boire dès maintenant et d'ici au moins 2017. Note - 90. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, robertparker.com, août 2013)

Note de dégustation (anglais)

Tahbilk is a bulwark of Victorian Shiraz. Its original plantings are some of Australia’s earliest. Wine & Spirits Magazine selected Tahbilk’s original 1860 Vines Shiraz Vineyard as one of the great twenty-five vineyards in the world. Traditional vinicultural techniques, as practiced by Tahbilk’s winemakers in the 1860s, are still utilized. To this day, the original above-ground storage facility, or chais, of the winery is an integral part of Tahbilk's operations. The 2007 Nagambie Lakes Shiraz has been made utilizing traditional Tahbilk techniques. It was fermented in open oak vats before maturation in French oak for eighteen months prior to bottling. This Shiraz is a deep red colour in the glass. The nose and palate show an intense mixture of blackberries and spice combined with plum and anise overtones. The finish is long and flavoursome, balanced with fine grape tannins. Cellaring and Pairing Suggestions: This medium-to-full bodied wine is delicious now but will improve with age. The perfect pairing with grilled steak, lamb casserole, or beef stew.
