Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	Artificial, candied, developing. Green apple, very bright acidity to balance. A wine of two halves - the deep colour and unattractive nose belies the balance and freshness of the palate.
Judge 2	Stinky nose, which follows onto the palate. Dirty, wooly character.
Judge 3	Dried apricots. Rich and complex with lovely acid drive. Very uplifting and cleansing on palate. Clean and interesting. Yum.
Associate Judge	Forward characters. Oxidised. Sweet and sour acid.
