Yeringberg, Marsanne(67%)/Roussanne(33%), Yarra Valley 2001

Light yellow.

Delicate almond paste, pineapple and spiced apple nose. There's also a Marsanne "thickness" you can smell.

Bright lemon/pineapple lift, with a Syrah-like menthol/licorice undertone. Then almond paste and lemon on the long, minerally finish. Much fresher than you'd guess. Vibrant, in fact. Keeps changing too..

Very interesting, suave, action from a cool-climate region in Australia.
