Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Some smoky creamy almond. Bigger and richer and sweeter style. Plump and caramelised to finish
Judge 2Palest gold in the glass, this wine smells of white flowers, lemon oil and a hint of struck match. In the mouth, juicy saline flavors of lemon peel, struck match, grapefruit and dried herbs have an electric zippiness thanks to fantastic acidity. Long and persistent with some wood influence.. Mouthwatering
Judge 3spectrum of primary and developed characters on the nose. florals, honey, nectarine, nutmeg, and almond. lovely richer style with intriguing structure and moreish finish. balanced.
Associate Judgeslight development, phenolic, less fruit showing but nice structrue
