Judging Results |
|
creamy oaky richness, but acid and oak sit a bit above everything else |
Savoury, lanoline, Brett has a negative impact on both pslate and nose |
Bit sweaty, but undoubtedly powerful. Lots of flavour: stewed apple, rhubarb, apricot, juniper... plenty going on. Chlky phenolics shape the affair inthe mouth. Plump. Quite pleasurable. |
toasty almond. pineapple, sea breeze, fruits id a bit hidden the length is a bit short. agar |
White Brett on nose? oily slightly bitter profile on palate |
