Judging Results

Judge 1 Lifted grapefruit, honeysuckle, white flowers, green apricot. Restraint and power. That concentration!
Judge 2 Strange sweet lychee character on nose. Palate seems sweet fruited. Not a bad wine but lacking in varietal character.
Judge 3 Funk masking the fruit expression on the nose; leading to a disjointed palate.
Associate Judge Cheesey, sweaty. High DCO2. Simple. Fruit and acid.
