Judging Results |
Bronze |
Slightly reductive. Yellow melon and nashi pear. Subtle palate. Slightly cloying? |
A little neutral, slightly washy front palate and doesn't quite take off. Delicate and refreshing. |
vanilla bean and white flowers, some white pepper (hint of oak?) palate is soft and ripe, like a soft white peach, good balance, well made |
Toasty reduction. Cinnamon toast. Ambitious oak. High DCo2 zesty. So much flavour. Yum. A bit of alc heat, but handling every part of it. Long and lingering. |
