Great potential. Still to develop the trademark honeysuckle notes of mature Marsanne. The name is derived from the age of these Marsanne vines - amongst the oldest in the world. Very similar to Semillon in flavour profile needing at least 10 years for it to blossom. Recent tastings included a 2005 which was just hitting its straps at 11 years.
