Judging Results |
Silver |
good fruit weight, good oak integration, just a touch one dimensional |
Flinty, gun powder funk, good solids management adding lift and dimensions over citrus pith. Long with drive. Has phenolicsbut in check. |
Lovely. Very worked style, but good pure fruit on the mid palate, extending length and saline acidity. All things in place - classy wine. Glossy.
Oaky finish pulls this down off a silver |
toasty vanila and walnut on nose lemon pith acidity is bright need more time to integrate but nice creamy palette. |
Little agar on front palate causing bitterness on finish. Citrus profile present but squeezed out to finish |
