Overall Score 85
Judge 1 lots of fruit lift, exotic perfume. not sure whether is yeast derived? follows through in the elegant and refined palate.
Judge 2 Very pale lemon yellow. Sprinkling of spice, white florals and pear. Moderate intensity. Fresh airy style. Little edgy and tart on the acid. Clipped length, short.
Judge 3 Sauv Blanc yeast driving the style, where is the Viognier character? Slight bitter greenness on end.
Associate Judge Bright, clean lifted fruit, white peach, fresh, zippy on palate that fades a little to a warmer finish
