Judging Results
Medal / Award Silver
Judge 1 Savoury spice.. hint of struck match.. some waxy grip... chew and white peach.
Judge 2 Pale gold in the glass, this wine smells of pears and citrus pith. In the mouth, vaguely saline flavors of unripe pear and citrus oil mix with dried herbs and a touch of fennel seed. Faint chalky texture, excellent aciditiy.
Judge 3 low intensity waxy nose, nutty character, citrus peel. lovely phenolics and structure. herbal mineral note, lots of complexity, a lovely drink
Associate Judge savoury, mediium weight, nice freshness, but lacking depth and complexity
