2002 Tahbilk Marsanne

The Marsanne vines at Tahbilk, planted in 1927, are arguably the oldest in the world. This is a delightful young Marsanne that has been matured in stainless steel. Bright straw colour. The nose is aromatic with a distinctive top note of honeysuckle and spice followed by end notes of pear and tropical fruit. The palate flavour profile is still tight, but this will blossom over time. Flavours of lemon and honeysuckle are evident, supported by crisp acid backbone. Aftertaste of pear and honeysuckle. This wine promises to develop a deal of complexity over the next decade.
