  Fantastic golden color indicating its age. All the characteristics of aged Marsanne, fantastic length. Acid and “crispness” still present to carry it through. The “oilyness “ that you often get with aged Marsanne was missing. Medium bodied for a white wine - I don’t believe it is going to get any better. Great VFM.

  This grape is so hard to rate. Amazing colour, great nose. Beautiful oaky, buttery chardonnay style on the first taste but instead of finishing thick and unpleasant it finishes crisp! Unfortunately for me this bottle kept a bit of bitterness with the crispness so was not great without food. Still amazing value though and well worth putting a few in the cellar to see how they evolve. Got a couple left so looking forward to them

  Great drinking now!
  Melon, honey, apricot aromas, accompanied with some herbaceous and mineral aromas, finished of with a fresh acidity, make it and all round superb drinking experience. Good length. Slight oily mouthfeel gives the Wine an extra richness that sets it apart from an aged Hunter Semillon.
  Perfect match to a salmon pasta dish with lobster white wine sauce.

  Gold. Pear, peach, citrus, honey. Mid-full palate, with a lovely texture and mouthfeel. There's an oily note, which adds to the fruit here. Nice with food too.

  White gold, aromas of peach, apricot, lemon, lime, nougat. To taste the palate has medium weight with stone fruits and pronounced lemon and lime zesty finish which lingers long after the wine has been swallowed. As good as ever. Love it.
