Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 nice flow with apple, pear and apricots. hints of nut. palate finishes a bit hot and hard.
Judge 2 pretty jasmine, hint lanolin, pleasant
Judge 3 Floral Muscat-like nose. Maybe RS upfront with softness, some delicate, pure perfume but lacks tension and a touch soapy finish (Torrontes-like).
Associate Judge vibrant fleshy peach, lifted and good esteric feels. Lovely simple and clean fruit that carries through to a nicely built palate lingering finish is good
