Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	84
Judge 1	Quite a bit of colour, apricot, orange blossom and ginger, Varietal, chalky, has flavour and some persistence but off-puttingly forward.
Judge 2	Deeper colour here. Canned apricot, apricot syrup on the nose. Ripeness pushed a bit here, lacking freshness. Quite astringent - Bitter character really clashing with oak tannin.
Judge 3	Grilled nuts and honey, bircher, and berries. oak meal on the palate. Nice texture. A little soft and lacking line.
Associate Judge	High SO2. Golden girl. Custard apple, peach bellini, tinned apricot, jasmine. Broad on palate, mouthcoating glycerol - requires acidity to reign in. Lacking freshness
