2013 Tahbilk Marsanne


James Halliday has Tahbilk Marsanne (2013) again on his Top 100 wines: when has he ever not had it on his 100? It's remarkable for the price, just over $10, though Halliday says Tahbilk are now demanding more for it – as they should: it's been cheap for years yet has remained consistently interesting. The 2013 is still on DM's cheap shelves. My drinking companions and I thought, in our combined musings: pale clear lemon-gold in colour, slight but lovely citrus on the nose and very moreish on the somewhat lengthened palate which features sherbet and lemon curd or cheesecake. It's crisp, quaffable (you could guzzle it), balanced.
