Bright hue; in mainstream Tahbilk style, but with an extra edge from the vintage (excellent) and French oak; it is medium-bodied, the tannins are fine, the length and balance spot-on.

Reckon I''ll be buying some of this 2006 Tahbilk Shiraz for myself. There''s a greater clip of cedary oak here than I''d normally expect in a Tabhilk red, but give the wine some air and it settles down perfectly. This is a super Tahbilk shiraz. It''s high in tannin and acidity - it''s in the shiraz-does-nebbiolo-style - but it''s got enough plummy, earthy, cherried, leathery flavour to well and truly cover it. I could drink a lot of this, as a young wine and when it''s mature.
