Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Muted, though slight custard apple note. Warm palate. A little broad with lack of definition and complexity. Pleasant but a little simple.
Judge 2	Nose is slightly dulled. Nice fresh acidity but is lacking fruit lift on the palate.
Judge 3	Light and bright looking, slightly muted nose but correct, pretty aromatics are there. Slightly underpowered on a pretty palate; stuffing and length missing on that intensity but all elements nice and with varietal charm.
Associate Judge	bitter lemon with a restrained nose. med minus int. medium flat acid. bitter lemon remains but lacking some flavour concentration and length.
