Judging Results |
|
Slightly hard edged and hollow. |
Reductive and slightly bilgie, there is a saline kind of algae character on the nose. Lots of dried hay and hot dried fruits, dehydrated apricots and dried yellow apples. |
M straw. Petroleum aroma upfront. Soft acidity, phenolic grip to cleanse on finish. Quite rich middle, but needs food to be enjoyed |
plasticine character, pal is a bit flat and doesn't have good direction |
