Judge 1 Lemon and lime on the nose, tart citric acid line which fades after mid palate leaving a waxy finish. Bright fruit on palate, lacking complexity but a happy wine.
Judge 2 Floral nose and palate, nice length of flavour, mild acidity, slight lychee, creamy, easy to drink
Judge 3 highly aromatic, fruit freshness pushed too far, finishes lean, looking for a little more
