Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	91.5
Judge 1	True Gewürz floral; musk; rose water...well framed and poised, mid palate sweetness also true to style. Viscous. Tease of spice. Alsace.
Judge 2	Dissolved CO2. Fragrant and lifted. Fresh ginger/red apple skin/musk. Textured and balanced palate - lots of impact, a little RS and a fair amount of phenolic chalkiness. Falls away a little on the finish but attractive.
Judge 3	Cooked fruit characters, tropical and bananas with pineapples. Slow ferment or a touch to warm? Elevated sweetness to compensate fruit leaves it unbalanced
Associate Judge	bright straw, bright citrus style, sweet candied overtones, off dry in style, lime cordial/sorbet character, light spice complexity.
