Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1 Savoury edged. some citrus spice. ok juicy. simple style.
Judge 2 Palest gold in the glass, this wine smells of citrus pith, unripe apple and herbs. In the mouth, slighly austere flavors of unripe apple, herbs, and lemongrass have a chalky texture and crisp dryness. Very good acidity but I feel ultimately too lean.
Judge 3 reductive, allium and rubber. sweet palate and short, clipped finish
Associate Judge rich, oily on the pallet, smokey
