Judging Results |
Bronze |
Med+ intensity, honeysuckle, golden apple, lanolin, wax. Full sweet and acid is just in check. A little hard on the finish. |
Element of dirtiness on the nose, to rounder 'golden' characters on the palate. Fades quickly on the finish; avoids a cloying sweetness however. |
Bit dank on nose some balance and expression of candied fruit. |
Candied lemon zest, orange blossom. Sweet and sour. Clean. |
