Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1tropical fruits are lifted by sulphides, but not harmonious. simple palate which has hard finish due to sulphides
Judge 2Some green peas, Lanoline, subtle aromatics, forward wine. Lacking a bit of depth
Judge 3Sweaty, field mushrooms and funk on the nose. Palate is pretty, all things in place - sugar snap peas, jasmine florals and crunchy lettuce - is there a slick of RS there? Feels glossy and soft.
Associate Judgegrassy hay white asparagus mushroom. candied gooseberry tropical fruits varietal expression. length is a bit short.
Associate JudgeMatch Struck nose, broader palate, smooth and round. Just a hint to much reduction on finish
