Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1Savoury edged. some citrus spice. ok juicy. simple style.
Judge 2Palest 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 3reductive, allium and rubber. sweet palate and short, clipped finish
Associate Judgerich, oily on the pallet, smokey
