Well we drained the bottle of 1994 pretty quickly (see below), so I thought I’d open a 1996 and compare them. This wine started with a bit of undergrowth, but then showed red liquorice, mushroom, red cherries and raspberries, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. The palate is quite rich, richer ...

I bought a case of this almost 10 years ago for the princely sum of $10.95 per bottle. 1994 was a cooler vintage at Tahbilk, and previous bottles of this have been very leafy and dilute. A light red with a touch of browning. The nose is soft, old red ...
