Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Orange blossom and honeysuckle lift. Waxy lanolin and creamy mid. Has juicy fruit and chew to lengthen. Good savoury style
Judge 2	Light gold in the glass, this wine smells of cooked eggs, baked apples, and citrus pith. In the mouth, spiced baked apple, sarsaparilla, and mulling spices mix with a light tannic grip and notes of dried herbs and licorice root lingering in the finish.
Judge 3	nice intensity of florals and primaries with lovely waxy teritaries, lanolin, green almond. sweet palate that is alluring but ultimately lacks freshness and balance.
Associate Judge	pale straw, toast, brioche, leesy, kerosene. textual, waxy in the mid palate, white peach
