Well you might expect this 2008 vintage MSB to be beyond its best, and you'd be right.

The nose is fine, typical with a hint of peapod and there is a little complexity, including a herbal quality, thyme perhaps. It all hints towards this wine being possibly quite good, when it was fresh. There is something missing though, that you would expect from a fresh MSB at any level. It doesn't have the weight or richness to carry its age. As Goose says, once MSB is past its best it is merely dry white wine.

That's about right. Had the first of my pair the other day. Had nothing to say and so didn't. Not nasty but bland and dull.

I feel a blend coming on with the second.

I could have sworn that my local were trying to move it 2 weeks ago for £4.99 on a multi buy that week-end (a hand written dangle tag). Praps Mark, was clearing space under a store mng't discretionary basis, or HQ said move it.

It was on the tasting table - I tried a smidgeon, with one of his staff ...err no ... why bother carrying it out ? It would go though, at a fiver.

Sorry tribs, I should'ave said something, but like Ba at the time - hardly worth the effort for a null.
