Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 Some smoky creamy almond. Bigger and richer and sweeter style. Plump and caramelised to finish
Judge 2 Palest 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 3 spectrum 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 Judge slight development, phenolic, less fruit showing but nice structrue
