Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	riper fruits, some oak possibly, complexity appears to come from base wine. quite complex, quite fuller bodied
Judge 2	slight leesy edge, creamy mouthfeel, fine bead. some sulphide.
Judge 3	Skins of yellow plums and hints of alka seltzer - citric peel finish with aggressive mousse
Associate Judge	Slightly smoky biscuity autolysis notes, fruit on the shy side. Bit of a disconnect from the palate to the nose, much more presence in the mouth, autolysis character really comes through (longer on lees?), varietal identity seems a bit lost, possibly on the neutral side.
