 2002 Brokenwood McMillan Vineyard Semillon

by Gary Walsh

It has been so unseasonably warm in Sydney over the weekend that I not only decided to go to the beach (Greenpeace caught napping this time round so no struggling) but also opened up a couple of 2002 museum release Hunter semillon. This is from twenty year old vines located in the Lovedale sub-region and came sealed with a cork.
Aromas of zestt lime and lemon, a little hay and the first hints of toasty development. Overall still very fresh and spritely. On the palate light crisp flavours of lemon, lime, flint and only a little toast…and min toast at that. Crunchy acidity and a mouthfell of river pebbles dryness. Finishes with lime and asian herbs. A classic style that needs a few more years to show its best.

Rated: 91/100
Drink: 2009-2016
