Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Oak character quite dominant on nose. Slightly dilute through palate and a hint of reduction. Lacking some balance and definition.
Judge 2	More secondary characters, honey dew, honey, nutty very lifted - vanilla notes from oak inclusion. Pal sees a lot of that oak, would like a bit more primary fruit. Pal lacks flow and finished a bit short.
Judge 3	More colour, richer/riper nose, touch of nut. Some weight slightly flabby feel; finishes a touch hot/without the fruit
Associate Judge	cream, butter, med plus int, not a lot of fruit, - very rich overdominating. oak is integrated. dry, med minus acid. no fruit. turning towards cloying
