Judging Results
Medal / Award Silver
Judge 1 pale, stone fruits and cool stuff, good structure and lenght again white nectarines
Judge 2 Concentrated and savoury, plenty to touch and feel here - the stone fruit makes a big show. Succulent almost. It's fierce. And it's working it. Bring it in - this needs a decant. But all things in place for a bright future.
Judge 3 odd, out of balance acid, lactic characters, acid overbearing not matching fruit
Associate Judge some tropical fruit flavours to it (melon). a bit oaky and ripe fruit flavour to it.
Associate Judge Toasty, mealy, ripe stonefruits. Lovely melon and citrus, great weight and length.
