Tahbilk Eric Stevens Purbrick Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Built for the long haul and the cellar - approachable now, but I do believe that Cabernet needs a good sleep before showing at its best.
Opens with flashes of oak, eucalypt and a dense core of black fruit: cassis, damson and their ilk. Cedary, hints of mocha and coffee oak - a good solid Cabernet core.
The palate shows spice, freshened up with good acid; tannin is drying, good and chewy - you just want to see how they'll look once softened. Finishes with a meaty twist, salumi-esque in some regards Well structured. 92
