Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Soapy florals and some oak? Restrained and elegant acidity, gentle bitterness/phenolic grip. Ginger-like warmth.
Judge 2Evident Oak seems to hide any varietal character. Wine is also a bit thin to carry the oak. Dry finish.
Judge 3Slight dirty/musky to the nose adding to the aroma. Good length on the finish, without excessive alcoholic heat.
Associate JudgePreserved lemon. Almond oak. Spicy fruit, toasty oak. Good persistent acid. Nice oak tannins on finish.
