This takes a different turn in 2020. The Tahbilk Marsanne 2020 is riper, fuller, more honeyed… and all together more everything. More honeydew and less green melon, the acid still prominent but in the right sort of way. Long too.

Easily the most enjoyable young Tahbilk Marsanne I’ve had in ages. Best drinking: now or wait for 5+ years. This vintage may not be as long-lived, perhaps, but drink better earlier. 17.7/20, 92/100. 13%, $20.30. Tahbilk website. Would I buy it? Yes.
