Judging Results
Medal / Award Gold
Judge 1 good color, great strucutre and oak treatment and drive . lovely tension on palate
Judge 2 Saline, honeydew melon, length is carried by worked complexity - this has attractive phenolic grip and buckets of flint. Cooling. White pepper through the finish.
Judge 3 lovely, flinty funk some greener, ur tropical fruits, lean, tight, pithy. decent.
Associate Judge a lot of toasted notes on the palate, brioche and vanilla. the acid well present in the beggining but misses a bit of fruit flavour to it.
Associate Judge Mealy, sulphides, flint, stonefruits. Generous, a hardness to the palate, ripe stonefruits with supporting citrus.
