Last bottle of this 2008 Tahbilk Marsanne and I see that I posted on this in 2013. This wine is as young as ever . Honeysuckle on the nose with the kérosène and almond nuance. I wish I had not opened it however I am halfway down the bottle and 1 hour on I will try again to see how much further it has developed. I am truly excited.

Have kept this wine carefully since circa 2005 and now still have one bottle left. Just shared it with Sunday roast lamb and this bottle was still full of life with good fruit and solid backbone. Not bad for a minor chateau Haut Medoc. Has any one except me still got a bottle?

Surprisingly good and I hear RP liked it too!! A predominance of merlot makes it soft and forward with a silky finish. a little smokiness in there and two or three hours later the last glass was still all there. I like 2008 as a vintage and if it had not been for the exceptional 09/10 turnout would be more talked about.
