Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	87.5
Judge 1	simple fat nose and tropical flavours on the nose. Good even palate and rich full texture
Judge 2	Honey and yellow peach, ripe fruit with a density and extract. Bitter almond/apricot kernel character is attractive, but elevated alcohol sticks out a bit.
Judge 3	Apricot Central. Viscous. Some heat, and also plenty of interest. Again, commercial relevance is questionable, though winemaking endeavour and skill is not.
Associate Judge	brilliant light gold, candied orange, touch bot? short, sweet and hot,
