Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	82.5
Judge 1	Pale straw. Slight mouldy aroma. H acidity, bit jarring, hollow middle with grippy phenolic finish. A bit tart
Judge 2	Odd nose, a musky note that pushes toward taint. Fruit feels muted and leaves a gaunteness that finishes short.
Judge 3	Questions about TCA....checked closure and apparently stelvin. Might be from another source. Lean and relatively neutral palate. Pithy length
Associate Judge	Pear, floral, stone fruit heading towards riper. Pal has some texture (bordering on), nice brightness, has good components but not fully brought together.
