Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Overall Score 86
Judge 1 golden, dark hues, big nose, high viscosity, some structure, fuller style
Judge 2 lemon pith , dried herbs and slight ammonia on nose. touch swampy and flinty. palate has a nice acid shape in waves, fine phenolics, and good volume but lacks flavour concentration and an overall harmony. The final impression is a bit green and angular.
Judge 3 Warm golden straw. Softly yellow fruited nose, gently ripe pineappley, touch of nougat. Palate is mid weighted, some nice texture. Quite tropical in the fruit expression being the only quibble.
Associate Judge Saline and vegetal nose. Palate an intriguing balance between pretty fruit flavours and green vegetables. Finshes blunt.
