This bottle was probably the best (most ready and developed) Tahbilk Marsanne I have had. I know some complain about the screw cap slowing development, but I'm very happy to not have cork notes affecting the wine. Nice honeyed honeysuckle and buttered toast notes, still nice acidity, a slightly waxy texture, great balance and drinking well now. But it should last for quite a while under the screwcap (A-).

Still fresh and delicious aromas, with pronounced petroleum, peaches, butter and spices. Quite full bodied, but rather short. 90 points for the aroma, and 82 for the palate.

Very drinkable, but lacks the development I have experienced in other bottles in their peak window. I think all the parts are there it probably just needs another 4-5 years.

Youthful. In a good place. Some honeyed development. Will hold. Drink now-5 years.
