Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score 84
Judge 1 dark golden, oily, skinsy nose, quite alluring, tannin complexity at the end
Judge 2 elegant nose of acacia, salinity, lemon leaf, pith, baked earth. curry spice and saffron. intensity on palate of flavour, fine layered phenolics, chewy just held taut with silvery acid. great wine.
Judge 3 Warm gold colour, touch of haze. Skin contact nose, hint of VA but church VA, well behaved. Malty yellow fruits besides. Rounded and broad shouldered malt powder flavoured palate, not especially structured but quite a pleasant bigger white.
Associate Judge Mousy? Volatile & Brett. Creamy toasty nose. Generosity to the palate which is balanced with very nice acid and phenolic - maybe oak tannin too?
