Judge 1	Med+ intensity, honeysuckle, golden apple, lanolin, wax. Full sweet and acid is just in check. A little hard on the finish.
Judge 2	Element of dirtiness on the nose, to rounder 'golden' characters on the palate. Fades quickly on the finish; avoids a cloying sweetness however.
Judge 3	Bit dank on nose some balance and expression of candied fruit.
Associate Judge	Candied lemon zest, orange blossom. Sweet and sour. Clean.
