Judging Results
Medal / Award Gold
Judge 1 bees wax and hazelnuts, creamed honey and flint. Slightly aldehydic edge deftly deployed, a subtle and supple honeyed core. Lovely drying length
Judge 2 A flintly kind of interest here with layers of fruit and savouriness. An intriguing wine with curry leaf and white peach. There is complexity here with an interesting slightly gritty edge.
Judge 3 Pale straw green. White fruit, soft and delicious. Cleansing. Good up-front attach that continues through
Associate Judge Some development seen, honey, melon, cheesy characters. Pal doesn't sit right, acid but doesn't bring freshness.
