Tyrrell's Belford Semillon 2002

Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia. Semillon. 10.5%. Cork. Approx $A40.

After feeling how prickly this fig leaf is, I can see why they invented underpants; and after smelling how dodgy and tainted this cork sealed bottle of semillon is, I can see (yet again) why the answer is screwcap. . .

Despite the taint, which ruins the nose, the wine retains its zip and saltiness.

My condolences, I am rather partial to the 2002 Belford.
