Judge 2 light gold. quite complex stonefruit with a steely cut. palate falls away a little
Judge 3 Quite deep coloured; riper stone fruit into pineapple nose. Quite soft and washy on the palate, could do with more intensity but draws itself out to reasonable, fresh finish.
Associate Judge Golden, rich honeysuckle, full palate with some possible SC gives texture but could use a better drive of acid
