Judge 1 Good first impression; clean fruit, stony, poised, coherent entry, driving acid line. Very even shape, clean and juicy, nice lime pith and tonic. 2nd look: intensity?
Judge 2 Bright colour, straw. Tightly wound nashi pear, melon, white peach. Textual palate, salty, good persistence.
Judge 3 Sweet estery aroma. A bit watery / sweet and simple. Nice but simple.
Associate Judge Lighter frame on palate; fresh pear, citrus blossom, wizz-fizz. RS weaving into fruit, and acid, nice phenolic edge appreciated.
