Judging Results
Medal / Award Gold
Judge 1 Great perfume and volume on the nose. Spicy clove, rose petal, orange rind, cinnamon. Lovely and complex full flavour palate. good balance and length.
Judge 2 Classic varietal character: musk/apple/lychee. M+ alc dominates the palate, some bitterness and dilution.
Judge 3 Turkish delight, musk on steroids. Spicy, almost grapefruit spectrum acids. Grapefruit theme continues on palate. Curio and intrigue. Bitter finish lets it down.
Associate Judge brilliant pale straw, perfumed notes, musk, white flowers. light elegant palate, rose water characters, good line and length
