  Honey and beeswax notes on opening, evolved to ginger and baking spices with time in glass and decanter. Preserved lemon, red apple and spiced pear fruit. Slightly oily, big mouthfeel. Feels like more than its 13% alc. Finishes very dry and a touch bitter, dry sherry-like. Not sure if that's a sign it's a bit oxidised. 10yrs under screwcap should not generally make a wine old but this seems past its best.
  Not all bad, but disappointing. For Australian Marsanne Tahbilk is surely the benchmark, and this is significantly more expensive but less enjoyable.

  Beautifully weighted wine with not a single hint of being overworked or overdone unlike some other Australian wine makers.
  
  Quite a creamy wine (not buttery), it has love stone fruit notes, including peach, nectarines and apricots. Body was well structured being accompanied by honeysuckle, beeswax with an earthy undertone. Oak was there but never dominated.
  
  An excellent vintage so drink now or 5+ years.

  A very well made wine that is now entering its drinking prime. Fresh, peach, apricot, perfumed and with a hint of brioche are all the descriptors that would describe this wine.
  
  While I don't have a huge amount of experience with ageing marsanne / roussanne, I can see the wine having the structure to go for another 10 years.
  
  I like the Yeringberg style as it is delicate but with weight as distinct to being heavy. Went very well with the brioche and chicken liver parfait.
  
  Drink now to 7+ years.

  Game of Rhones (Carriageworks, Redfern): Peach, apricot, bees wax and touches of cream…slight pear skin joins on the palate with the fruit, fleshy, long, nice
