Developing a little yellow colour, spice on the nose and a little lime. Fresh and zingy although the acid is perhaps a little low. Palette quite full with good length.

We had a curry on Friday night that was needed a white wine (if we were having wine--we probably could have skipped it, tbh), so I opened this. It's a bit weightier, and the heft makes it work pretty well with spicy foods or things with stronger flavors that need white wine. These are just a really great example if you like Marsanne, by a maker that puts the effort into these very reasonable bottles.

Has acquired more weight since we last tasted this in 3/22. Good tone and structure. Don't know how to predict the lifespan of a youngun' version of this famously ageable wine, but no one will be disappointed holding these for five more years, if not longer.

Drank this over a longer period than probably advisable, but it held up fine in the refrigerator under VacuVin. This is one of the best values in wine if you like richer whites--Marsanne is not the lightest juice, and I've never had one that would make sense made that way. So it can be a nice winter white, with lemon pith, a bit of green apple, and a little white rose (but not a lot, that would be unappealing to me, fwiw). Tahbilk also makes a "reserve" Marsanne, which I recently bought but have not tried. Be interesting to see how much it differs, but this hits the spot at a very nice price (under $15).

One of the best cheap wines I’ve had. Light colour. Plenty of floral overload made this an ideal wine to have with a spicy beef curry I’d made for dinner tonight. This wine will age for 10 years.
