Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 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.
Judge 2 Tropical notes and hints of florals, good texture and weight but alcohol burn just fails the balance of the wine. Good try.
Judge 3 quite bland aromas. palate in check, a bit underripe and doesnt deliver much as a result. a bit safe.
