Vintage 2002

Australia 2002 was a cold year with plenty of winter and spring rain to support the vines for the year. Summer and fall were completely dry. The summer was the coldest on record. Fall had one of the warmest endings. All of this meant that we had very low yields of grapes and produced high quality wines.

Written Notes

We looked at two bottles of this wine. The first bottle was impacted by cork – not so much taint but a tired and out of condition wine. Previous experience suggests that should not be so. The second bottle was better but still not as good as one would have hoped. A more mellow, rounded, even tropical style. Plenty of honey note. Quite mature, perhaps more than one would wish. Both had a slight old lanolin character which is pleasant. But neither showing any great length. Shame, as this can be a stunner – a Macedon classic. But the mature flavours that were there in the second bottle were very enjoyable. Good bottles of this wine are so much better than these suggested.
