Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	good clean lift, dried lime zest some hey notes palate has good balance - sweetness with lime cordial, sherberty acid
Judge 2	Full gold, clear & bright. Incredibly rich & sweet. Over the top. Full spectrum of botrytis characters on palate, which weren't as evident on the nose. A bit too cloying.
Judge 3	Bronze, honeyed mead character, sweetness and round front palate, acidity too hard
Associate Judge	Like the intensity on the palate but doesn't finish fresh enough, stone fruit and floral good, VA taking away from the wine
