Tyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon 2002

I managed to gain 2 bottles of this, my favourite Australian Semillon, for free and drank both over the weekend. Opened to a tight and relatively young bouquet of lemon cheesecake, toast, honey, vanilla and a touch of bitumen. On the palate again young, but with good balance and acids to see it cellar. Nice chalky minerality and soft finish. Probably one of the leanest vintages I have had, but still quality was high and did drink very well. Still the best semillon going around.
50+4+13+17+8 = 92/100
