Judging Results |
Bronze |
A little reductive and muted. Lacks complexity, though nicely balanced. |
Some citrus notes along with nutty almond character, minerally notes. Pal shows bright acid, clean and crisp. Some grippy phenolic texture. Fruit brightness from nose is slightly clipped - lacking flow on the back pal. |
Creamy citrus/stone fruit nose, waxy mouthfeel with some nut and spice. Some appealing bitterness to finish with clean acid. Retasting looks good. |
