Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 Some higher toned orange fruits. Bigger and solid style. Big grip and chew. Bit sweet and sour to finish
Judge 2 Light gold in the glass, this wine smells of peach and spiced honey. In the mouth, brilliant acidity makes flavors of peach and orange oil positively electric on the palate, as flavors of herbs and spices linger with fantastic energy on the palate. Unique and compelling.
Judge 3 intriguing reduction, savoury notes, crystallised honey. sweetness, phenolics, acid, all in balance.
Associate Judge textual, full bodied, saline, it does not have the acid drive
