“Toasty, nutty aromas with hints of lemon, unfold to reveal a dry, well-concentrated palate with toasty complexity, fine bead and great drive and length. The wine appears more chalky and drying when paired with the hashbrown.”
Warren Gibson, First Term Chairman of Judges, Eleventh Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Complex, nutty and attractive. Rich and full palate. Long and lingering. Excellent. Similar with the food matching. Long and lingering”
Corey Ryan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Lifted mealy, bread and complex secondary aromas. A good pulse of vibrancy and fruit. Crisp fresh acid, finely structured wine finishes dry and bright. The apple-potato flavours dominate the wine pairing. The wine appears swamped by the food. Not a good match.”

“Fresh and vibrant in the glass, with a hint of toasted nuts, and buttered brioche, a fine bead, with a creamy finish. Some lovely subtle delicate acidity ”

“Very pale yellow gold. Toasty, brioche notes with hints of cream aromas. Fine mouse, fresh palate, more toasty flavours across palate.”
Mark Robertson, Eighth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
