Judge 1 Lime and seaspray but then quite an arresting RS impression gives it broadness that the wine struggles to break out of but it does become zesty and last refreshingly.
Judge 2 Peach lemon yogurt. Reductive tanky. Kind of nice appealing character. Some obvious RS sits heavy.
Judge 3 peach, stone fruit. citrus line. subtle RS in balance. oak integrated.
Associate Judge Framed by citrus peel and pith, almond, and peach. Waxy, full palate weight, RS supporting weight. Saline interest, and phenolic on the finish.
