Judging Results |
Bronze |
Luminous yellow, hint of green in the glass. Tangy meyer lemon, sherbet and lime skin. Aromatic, green citrus and spice. Grapefruit acidity. Little raspy and green to close. |
Tropical notes and hints of florals, good texture and weight but alcohol burn just fails the balance of the wine. Good try. |
quite bland aromas. palate in check, a bit underripe and doesnt deliver much as a result. a bit safe. |
Clean, floral, stone fruit, medium weight palate, lower acid on finish, |
