Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Muted, though slight custard apple note. Warm palate. A little broad with lack of definition and complexity. Pleasant but a little simple.
Judge 2Nose is slightly dulled. Nice fresh acidity but is lacking fruit lift on the palate.
Judge 3Light and bright looking, slightly muted nose but correct, pretty aromatics are there. Slightly underpowered on a pretty palate; stuffing and length missing on that intensity but all elements nice and with varietal charm.
Associate Judgebitter lemon with a restrained nose. med minus int. medium flat acid. bitter lemon remains but lacking some flavour concentration and length.
