Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 dry grass and leaf, hard smoke and lemon twig. A hard, almost mean wine
Judge 2 Savoury elements present well here with some rocky minerality and depth. Theres just a disjointed element here that causes a bit of disparity between fruit and structure.
Judge 3 M straw-green. Citrus with white fruit aromas. Good depth, M acidity with some good phenolic grip to cleanse.
Associate Judge Pal is a bit warm, doesn't have acid, fruit or structure to support.
