Judging Results

Overall Score	89
Judge 1	Green pineapple and citrus orchard, bana blossom. Slight acrid frame, with fresh white nectarine pith
Judge 2	Papaya character coupled with reductive characters detracts from this wine. Grubby. Nice textural element.
Judge 3	Palest gold in color, this wine smells of wet chalkboard, apple, and white flowers. In the mouth, floral notes of apple and pastry cream have a bright juiciness and stony minerality. Very good acidity,
Associate Judge	densely musky, composed body and acid balance, smooth texture very floral, little fruit
