Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Luminous yellow, hint of green in the glass. Tangy meyer lemon, sherbet and lime skin. Aromatic, green citrus and spice. Grapefruit acidity. Little raspy and green to close.
Judge 2Tropical notes and hints of florals, good texture and weight but alcohol burn just fails the balance of the wine. Good try.
Judge 3quite bland aromas. palate in check, a bit underripe and doesnt deliver much as a result. a bit safe.
Associate JudgeClean, floral, stone fruit, medium weight palate, lower acid on finish,
