Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1 Some yellow peach and honeysuckle spice. Savoury edge. Good chew and interest.
Judge 2 Light gold in the glass, this wine smells of lemongrass, unripe apples, and a hint of yeast. In the mouth, richer, silkier flavors of apple and pear don't have enough acidity to be dynamic, and notes of sweet oak linger in the finish. Comes across as flat/flabby.
Judge 3 very closed nose. herbs, almond. hollow palate, not much life or vibrancy
Associate Judge classic style, some nice freshness, lacking some drive and tension
