Tahbilk Marsanne Museum Release 2008

Goulburn Valley, Victoria, AustraliaHoneysuckle is scented with light macadamia, smoked stone, eraser and bitter lemon pith in this eight-year-old Marsanne, bottled under the "Museum Reserve" label. The palate flows with an oily slickness, though there is a subtle fine grip through to the very lengthy, ashen and salty finish. Pale gold in hue, this is lagging in its evolution than some vintages, showing hints of the fruity characteristics of young marsanne, but with some of the secondary characteristics of the age worthy grape. Has a way to go still: 5 years easy. A cellar-worthy steal to buy now.Tasted: 08 August 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
