Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 Firm and waxy, shaped by gritty phenolics and finishing with a sparkling, mineral edge. Slight heat on the finish.
Judge 2 Nice florality on the nose but doesnt deliver through the finish, structure is clunky and sugar plays a role that is discombobulating to the final result.
Judge 3 Pale straw. Quite nutty aroma. Great upfront acidity, full bodies middle wit h interesting phenolic grip. Good length.
Associate Judge Pear and some almond - nuttiness. Bright acid, clean, crisp, good fruit.
