Why? An wonderfully historical winery (in immaculate condition) with an incredibly long track record of high quality Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Marsanne. Indeed Tahbilk was soley responsible for putting Marsanne on the Australian winedrinker's map and it also happens to be the custodian of the oldest Marsanne vines on earth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe estate also possesses Victoria's most historical shiraz plantings (the 1860's block). Whilst Shiraz \u0026amp; Marsanne get most of the attention I think the Cabernet-based wines lead the way. Recent tastings of the 1972, 1984 and 1991 confirm the well-deserved track record of cellaring capability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNewer releases such as the 'Old Block' series have aslo been very impressive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Some years it's the ESP shiraz that shines the brightest, and some years it is the ESP cabernet. The 2018 vintage was such a year for cabernet, producing impressive depth of flavour, concentration and above all, elegance. Leafy, black fruit, clove, anise and sweet earth scents. Boasts depth, length and firm line as fine tannins guide the palate, embracing intense fruit, spice and a touch of cigar box complexity.\" \u003cstrong\u003e96pts | Jeni Port | Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Slow Beer and Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896358338713,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/4030\/6329\/files\/IMG_2867.jpg?v=1761113922","url":"https:\/\/www.slowbeerandwine.com.au\/products\/tahbilk-eric-stevens-purbrick-cabernet-sauvignon-2018","provider":"Slow Beer and Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
