Judging Results
Medal / Award VHC
Judge 1 Mid gold. Not much aroma. Really god palate - spice, stone-fruits, savoury bits and heaps of mineral. Complex, long
Judge 2 flinty, closed, not showing any presence of fruit, peppery, nice core of elegance and hidden component. Asks a lot of questions
Judge 3 Mid-straw and bright; complex nose - perfumed, earthy, sun-bleached hay, savoury toned with hints of clotted cream. The palate is refined - textural, long beautifully handled phenolics. What a fabulous wine - pitch-perfect. Bravo.
Associate Judge pale golden straw / subdued nose, / acid bright and fresh, phenolics add complexity, especially on finish. white flowers, peach, clotted cream
