Whilst many blow the trumpet of the SA 2002 vintage for reds (and rightly so in most cases) we have found the same year for chardonnay in Mornington to be excellent. We have tasted the 2002 on a few occasions and very time has shown impressively.
Pale gold in the glass, looks relatively young for a 2 year old chardonnay. Sweet, lifted nose, very ripe, with some faint burn from the alcohol? Very mouthfilling, powerful style with a long finish. again some heat from the alochol but it does fill the palate out somewhat. There's a touch of bandaid - brett but acceptable and does add a layer of funkiness. Pretty good wine, but perhaps not for the faint hearted.
