Judging Results
Medal / Award Silver
Judge 1 Deep and creamy, plus red and yellow icy glacé. Palate is creamy, but a bit simple, although finish is zesty tangy.
Judge 2 brilliant pale pink, subdued SO2 nose, hints of red berries and spice, lanolin, struck match, firm phenolic texture upfront, red berries kick in, lanolin, good acid backbone, bright fresh, savoury, talc texture lingers
Judge 3 bright characters of cassis and cranberry, a touch of the old lollipop as well unfortunately.
this cleans up quite a bit on the palate with some smart acids providing some lip salt - a redeeming character here.
Associate Judge rose lychee nose and confectionary strawberries and cream confectionary on palate has pretty elements but remains too much in sweets direction for me
