Judging Results
Medal / Award Silver
Judge 1 Honeyed nuttiness, some paraffin and grilled nut. Tight and focussed palate...phenolic coiled length
Judge 2 Strong jasmine perfume and peach tea interplaying. A prettiness to the wine that pervades ever fibre of its being. A freshness to the fruit keeps it in check and some neat limestone flecks throughout the wine keep it interesting.
Judge 3 M straw. Slight pharma note. Rich soft middle, M- acidity with cleansing tannin. Good example of anricher style. Finsishes fresh and tight
Associate Judge Lifted nose, pear, floral, pretty and bright. Texture on pal is interesting.
