Judge 2bright and clear/brilliant; peach blossom, Persian sweets, florals; slightly sour notes on the palate, angular acid, tart. fresher style
Judge 3Innately saline and minty, with some saltbush and fresh caper. Saline and quite acid driven, with some salted lemon and cumquat
Associate Judgemuted aromatics. pineapple, perhaps young? leads to a palate full of JUICY kiwi + tropical fruit, very moreish. would like to see this in six months.
