Judging Results |
|
mod col, quite oaky , palate little tired and faded, oak lactone and malo characters |
Flinty and rich, a mouthful of flavour. Plenty of interest and intensity. There is a parrafin wax character through the midpalate. Want to see a tad more freshness in this wine - even though it is 2017. |
older, some more toasty characters, spice, citrus, some wax and lanolin, fruit falling away |
a bit funky but warm feeling in the palate. |
Slight dusty, dirty, covering nice fruit. Nice acid, fleshy white fruits and lime. Let down by nose. |
