Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1Faint yellow, hint of grey. White almond, light jasmine florals. White peach, nashi pear. Quite raspy acidity, lean example.
Judge 2Spicy oak drives the style, fruit not enough to harmonise
Judge 3oak prominent and overriding the fruit on aromas. nice ripe varietal flavours. lovely length driven by some nice oak. I'd just like to see more zip and brightness to fruit. the oak is a just a bi raw/sawn character to it.
