Community Tasting Note

  September 8, 2012 - My experience with marsanne-roussanne blends is limited but based on this wine I definitely need to explore further. From the first sip to the last this wine had the relatively rare ability to hold up my interest. In other words the drinkability factor is very high here despite the fact that this wine is quite big. The balance is just on the spot for me. Excellent.
  
  Lemon yellow colour. Open, wide, ripe but youthful nose. Plenty of ripe fruit (mango, maybe) together with some sweet vanilla. Rich and a tad toasted. The palate is also rich and you can note the alcohol beneath. Despite this the wine somehow manages to be fresh. There's viscosity and width in the mouthfeel but the acidic backbone keeps this wine beautifully together enabling the richer flavours to come to the front without being clumsy. Aftertaste is relatively long.
