Overall Score 87
Judge 1 deepish colour, some fruit but overlaid by some quite strong, slightly sappy oak aromas and flavours which swamp the fruit
Judge 2 quiet nose. tucked in. mineral spectrum. herbal leading to bitterness and acidity comes across as angular. mod length. nice saltiness.
Judge 3 lemon pith, smidge of reduction and cream, white nectarine juiceiness rounded with a creaminess of texture. well crafted and good length where the fruit still shines through
Associate Judge secondary character, lees, skin contact, good acidity balance with nice fruit driven.
