Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	Texture, balance, interest. Length. Savoury. Pecorino. Joy. Musk perfume with lees integration.
Judge 2	Light yellow-gold in color, this wine smells of lanolin, Asian pears, pomelo and wet chalkboard. In the mouth, stony notes of stone fruit and citrus pith have a silky texture and nice chalky underbelly. Perhaps a little light on acidity and a tiny bit of RS? Nonetheless pleasurable.
Judge 3	Cheese cloth, pineapple skin, star fruit, round textural and tropical round
Associate Judge	salt hot rock, wafty, med minus intensity, simple savoury palate
