Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	86.5
Judge 1	Firm and waxy, shaped by gritty phenolics and finishing with a sparkling, mineral edge. Slight heat on the finish.
Judge 2	Nice florality on the nose but doesnt deliver through the finish, structure is clunky and sugar plays a role that is discombobulating to the final result.
Judge 3	Pale straw. Quite nutty aroma. Great upfront acidity, full bodies middle wit h interesting phenolic grip. Good length.
Associate Judge	Pear and some almond - nuttiness. Bright acid, clean, crisp, good fruit.
