Medal / Award
Judge 1	lees work evident, sl cheesey quite glycerolic upfront but tannins extractive, quinone character, heavy alcohol
Judge 2	WTF? Dirty lees character very off putting on the nose. Hot and broad palate.
Judge 3	Med straw, oats, apricot and chinese tea, tea character strong on the palate, good viscosity to match warmth and phenolics, out of class?
Associate Judge	Honeydew melon, lacking acidity and very bitter finish
