Martin Moran, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“There?s a mix here of light hazelnut with peach and nectarine, a touch of cream on the palate and a zesty finish but it isn?t changed much by the food.”
Martin Williams, Fourth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Pale lemon-straw. Chalky, greengage plum and quince aromas. Solid, oily palate. Firm phenolics become bitter at finish. Food: No joy. Not attractive.”
Brent Marris, Thirteenth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“A lovely bright slightly tropical fruit nose. Great balance of stone fruit with a hint of mealyness on the finish. A good match as the wine is lifted slightly and becomes a little more complex.”
Ying Hsien Tan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Light green yellow. Oak, chalk, apple, slightly buttery nose. Med-full, dry, oaky creamy apple, med-acid backbone, balanced, persistent mid-palate. Dry, mineral finish. Pairing pointed up complexity of wine flavours, but was neutral on its impact on the food.”
Dr Ken Dobler, Eleventh Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Interesting complex nose with brioche and cut pear notes. Lovely primary fruit on the palate. Very well structured with flavour right to the very back palate and a nice acid backbone. This more complex style is a good match with food.”

“Melon, savoury, slight creaminess, has character. Melon, savoury, clunky palate with phenolics/RS overriding. Food : acidity more out of balance.”
