Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Questions about TCA....checked closure and apparently stelvin. Might be from another source. Lean and relatively neutral palate. Pithy length
Judge 2	Odd nose, a musky note that pushes toward taint. Fruit feels muted and leaves a gaunteness that finishes short.
Judge 3	Pale straw. Slight mouldy aroma. H acidity, bit jarring, hollow middle with grippy phenolic finish. A bit tart
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.
