Judging Results |
|
Charry oak character nose and front palate that lacks integration. Worked. Lacks intensity and balance. |
Pale gold in the glass, this wine smells of vanilla and unripe pears. In the mouth, crisp quince and pear flavors mix with a touch of citrus pith and faint saline quality. Stony and bright, but on the leaner side. |
Slight banana skin mango reduction. Loveless salty saline edge with some framing peach seed tannin |
ripe apple, spiced nashi pear, med intensity with stone, white florals, great density of fruit, med length, light cream but good texture |
