Chateau Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon 1985

Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: Australia
Region: Victoria
Farming: Conventional

A remarkable slice of Australian wine history, this fully mature Cabernet from Tahbilk showcases the estate’s legendary ability to age gracefully. From one of the oldest family-owned wineries in the country, the 1985 vintage opens with notes of dried blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco leaf, and earthy spice, wrapped in mellow tannins and soft acidity. Still remarkably alive, it’s a contemplative, old-school Cabernet with charm, depth, and a sense of place. Best enjoyed slowly, with good company.
