Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1Confected fruit, over oaked and sweetness our of balance. Volatile.
Judge 2Pale to light gold in the glass, this wine smells of sweetish apple and pear. In the mouth, the wine is distinctly sweet, with a bit too much residual sugar for my taste. There's also a tannic grip her but not enough acidity.
Judge 3Slight mealyness, lime curd, carpety tones. Sweet sweaty attenuation
Associate Judgerubber, muted fruit nose - dominating sweetness palate, not enough flavour concentration or acidity to match
