Judging Results |
Gold |
Toasty, sulphides, steely. Pineapple, green mango, preserved lemon. Some complexity, tart acid and creamy but lacks flow.
Sulphides may be divisive but at least there's character |
Lifted nutty nose H2S, vitamin B, palate broad and textural generous with the finish a little warm. |
great attempt at lees and oak. gun flint, supported by great line of fruit. length of flavour. |
Almond and a mealy lift, bilgy swamp lift, Popcorn, MLF lift? Big an textural, large format, nice acid, texture and weight. Interesting style. |
