Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 Lifted 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 2 Quite 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 3 lovely spice and lift, sl tropical fruit, firm structure, long palate, good acidity and vibrance, grippy finish, very clean
