Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88
Judge 1	Warm straw hue. Plenty of built up oak, but in a nice way, slight haze so probs not filtered. Plenty of built up lees character. Oak is a bit vanillin for me but this is a well done wine.
Judge 2	Medium gold. Overt cedary, vanillin oak subduing the fruit. Palate vanillin, textural but ultimately not showing typicity of fruit characters
Judge 3	Creamy vanilla and peach with lemon curd. Oak sweetness currently dominant on the mid-palate.
Associate Judge	red apple, lifted? butterscotch, cream. vanilla oak, thick upfront, fruit gets overpowered. finishes with oak not fruit
