Judging Results |
Silver |
Rich honeysuckle, pineapple, dried peach. Lusciously sweet, with acid barely able to keep it in check. A little cloying to close but clean and well constructed. |
Greater lusciousness on the nose and palate. Good balance between sugar/acid. Concentration of flavours without being too rich. Good length on finish; slightly short. |
High SO2 and a bit dull / closed. Good balance on palate but lacks any fragrance or expression. |
Ripe rockmelon. Clean palate. Sweetness a little cloying mid palate. |
