Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1Sweet, oak, out of balance.
Judge 2Light to medium yellow-gold in the glass, this wine smells of sweet candied citrus peel and a touch of honey. In the mouth, honeyed notes of candied citrus and Asian pear mix with orange blossom water. There's a faint chalkiness here, and perhaps also a bit of residual sugar? Less acidity than I would like. Perhaps a bit too ripe.
Judge 3Bruised banana, green banana. Fructophylic oily
Associate Judgerestrained nectarine, salty lemon, orange rind, appealing, sweet simple palate
