TN: Tahbilk Marsanne 2010

Yellow gold in colour. Rich and complex nose of honeysuckle and lanolin, similar to a Hunter Semillon, with some lemon zest and lime cordial, and a little kero, like an aged Riesling. The palate has a touch of oiliness or viscosity, and this makes the wine appear a little richer than it actually is. The lime cordial continues across the palate, and is well supported with cleansing acidity.
I reckon this is the sweet spot for Tahbilk Marsannes. They're fresh and high acid when younger, but age superbly into a much more complex and satisfying drop. This has room for further development, but is very good now.
