Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	83
Judge 1	Pale straw, light citrus aroma. Quite rich big structure, M acidity, grippy phenolic finish
Judge 2	Almost a cereal note to the nose with an oaty, mealiness. Touch of phenolics on the back creates a sourness that deters interest. A real lime skin kind of note.
Judge 3	Rich and waxy, crated lemons and cut grapefruit. The palate is an essay in corseted richness, kept tight by tightly wound phenolics. Line and length
Associate Judge	Pithy, minerally notes. Pal has texture but has gone a little far, warmth on pal too
