Classic aged Tahbilk marsanne, in good condition. Honeysuckle, lemon rind, slight viscous texture, fine lemon acidity providing good structure, slightly toasty/honeysuckle on the end. Wonderful for its standing.

Auswine - 90s and earlier tasting: Blind. Lots of apricot, wax, some ashy and herb notes as well give it some extra interest. Feels quite ripe and rich on the palate, there is quite a lot of punch to the fruit. In a good spot for drinking now. One of the better old Tahbilk Marsanne that I've had.

Two bottles consumed over the last month. First was good, but the second last Saturday was amazing. Golden colour, aromas of tea, lanolin and a tangy fino like note, with rich long flavours of honeysuckle, lime, almonds on the palate. Truly one of Australia's great wines.

Bought two bottles at auction recently. The first was good (91), but the second was outstanding. Honey, marzipan, faint citrus notes and crispness make for a sublimely unctuous package.
