Judging Results
Medal / Award Silver
Judge 1 pale, quite mineral almost ries like, palate tiring lacks purity
Judge 2 lovely florals, good spice, nice fruits, terpene, mineral water, a little dilute. good drink but
Judge 3 Toasty nose suggesting age, elderflower, juniper, nashi pear. Complex white spice, hints of saffron, turmeric, white currant and green apple. A lovely, and very interesting wine. I would surely have a second glass. There is a fresh cap gun/ash character that is very appealing.
Associate Judge river stones, minerality, cashews, seems like some development, oily palate, but rounded up with nice acid
Associate Judge lime, custard tart with lime zest, savoury style but love the oyster shell, satiating-ness of it. Finishes dry but want to have with food and another glass me thinks! maybe lacking in intensity
