Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Some vibrant fruit here but a distracting lemon oil/cheese rind character lurking and distracting. Hard, mawkish finish.
Judge 2	A bright cherry filled example with fruit abounding, interest extending beyond the prettiness in the fruit shows some seriousness in structure and fruit weight. A purity in its core shows some depth.
Judge 3	M- ruby. Red cola fruit. Low level intensity, slightly savoury finish, flat middle, easily forgettable
Associate Judge	Lovely brightness, violet, blue fruit, nice fruit sweetness on the pal.
