Judging Results
Medal / Award VHC
Judge 1 pale, tight flinty reduction , some tropical fruits touch sweet but enjoyable.
Judge 2 pretty lifted, frangipani character, orange blossom, pithy phenolics, but too much pastiness and tannin.
Judge 3 Orange pith, citrus blossom, talc, pink bud jasmine. Palate has acidity for days, but with flesh on its bones. A super dry, textural, exciting wine... begging to be paired with food. Perfect for dry, hot summer days. Yes. (An alternative to riz?) Open weave, au natural style with personality and identity and while not silky smooth or seamless, it is engaging and lively and delicious.
Associate Judge hint of reduction, gun flint, burnt lemon, white peaches, good texture in mouth, persistence and a great concentration of fruit
Associate Judge musty, reduced, reduction carries through on palate, dominates, fruit character is lost. phenolics drying on fin. reduce reduction and has potential.
