Judging Results |
Silver |
medium intensity, botrytis characters, quite simple, bright, lacks complexity and pungency |
musk, good depth of flavour. nice balance. |
Honeyed nuts, dried apricots and apples, caramel - upfront ripe grapefruit laced with mango in the palate - acid drops |
Golden in colour. Blossom waxy notes, dense and thick. Full and rich but falls a bit flat, needs more bite and freshness. |
