Tahbilk 2001 Shiraz Oct 04

Purple in colour, the nose is floral with light, peppery nuances, fresh plum, berries and earth. With its smooth tannins and obvious fruit driven nature, the wine is good drinking now but may improve in the short term. Blackberry/blackcurrant spectrum fruit, plum, minty and with loads of chocolate of moderate intensity, it is clean and well made. Medium-weight with a firm but supple consistency, it is rated as Recommended with *** for value. A reliable label.
