Judges Selection [GFW23]

2023 Global Fine Wine Challenge

90 | Quiet nose. Fruity driven palate.

79 | buttered popcorn nose, lactones and acid, limp mid-palate, short flat finish.

80 | Off colour. Bruised apple and honeyed oxidation. Hollow, short. Fruit has taken a knock.

84 | A strange aroma; lemon sherbet icing sugar + peach melba yoghurt. Palate all over the place.
