Judge 3medium green, some autolysis with burnt toffee notes, green apple and honey on finish
Associate JudgeToasted and bread like aromas, good full mouthfeel and nice bubble shape, could have more drive on the palate, medium acidity is met by some nice phenolics, this wine feels very made but good
