Judge 1 A little closed and missing aromatic charm on the nose; but there are good elements there. Feels restrained, with pleasant juicy creaminess to the palate and some zest.
Judge 2 Reduced, gluey note. Closed in on the palate. Hard, rubbery note runs through palate.
Judge 3 Lovely floral aroma with some toasty oak and reduction. Lovely flow of golden apple, pear and nectarine. Very nice fresh finish.
Associate Judge Lemon blossom, tart apricot, white nectarine, toast. Flattened fruit, sour acid line. RS
