Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1 Orange skin contact apricot kernel and really hard ashy phenolic grip. Bit OTT and flattens palate
Judge 2 Medium pumpkin orange in the glass, this wine smells of wet leaves, orange peel, and dried mango. In the mouth, chalky tannins squeeze flavors of dried mango, papaya, dried apricot and yellow plum tinged with dried herbs. Tannins stiffen with time and slightly dry the mouth, leaving a savory, dusty herb note in the finish.
Judge 3 orange. honey suckle and orange peel. nice fruit profile thought lacking some intensity and freshness
Associate Judge deep straw with brown tinge, sea breze, ripe stone fruit but quite subtle. not much primary fruit, orange rind, fine tannins, moorish, very savoury
