Judging Results |
Silver |
Grapefruit pith and pear skin, river stones and wax, a hint of wet wool. Rounded, fleshy palate, composed phenolics. Poise. Gris in sheep's clothing |
Apple and pear notes, bit of whipped honey and grapefruit skin. A nice interplay between white stone fruit and a staunch minerality. Texture builds interest and depth and acid sits at a point that feels fresh but not pushed. A sophisticated, complex wine. |
Pale straw green. Restrained white fruit. M acidity with lovely soft fruit intensity. Very even across the palate, soft yet cleansing finish |
Some nice fruit characters but is a bit restrained. Pal is flat and lacks flow. |
