Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Lifted pear skin and sweet floral notes. Great volume and lift on the nose showing freshness and vibrancy. Big sweet juicy sweet palate with lost of flavorand vibrancy, but a touch sweet on the finish.
Judge 2Quite estery and fresh....citrus, paw paw and banana notes show through. Nicely weighty presence in the mouth with ample acidity to reign it in. Perhaps lacks a little purity for a higher score. Hardens up a little on the finish
Judge 3lovely spice and lift, sl tropical fruit, firm structure, long palate, good acidity and vibrance, grippy finish, very clean
