  Excellent Marsanne from Tahbilk. As usual it ages very well! Perfect balans, almost reminds me of a riesling. Mineral. Fleshy. Almost riesling petroleum.
  The wine looks yellow gold colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like lemon, orange, mango, pineapple, flint, mineral, stoniness, almond and honey. The body is medium/full. The wine has oily texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.
  I would not cellar it anymore.

  Nose of marzipan and toffee apples. Lovely sharp acidic presence on the attack with some spicy crab cake type notes. Rich but with good lift and winning personality. At its fabulous peak now.

  Much the same as the last bottle, but as might be expected with six more years under its belt, it is a medium gold, and the aged characteristics are more pronounced, it is fuller, more mature. Almost bready on the finish now. But that understated elegance aspect is still there, it's a wine that wants to whisper and asks that you please pay attention. Finely appointed.

  What a change the screwcap makes for this wine. This bottle did not seem close to 13 years old, fresh as a daisy and only starting to develop secondary flavours. Great intensity to this wine, with some honeysuckle, buttered toast, lime and a slightly waxy texture. Healthy acidity helps make this crisp and clean tasting. Great with halibut with mango salsa, this will last many years yet (A-).
