Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88
Judge 1	reduced nose, clips the aroma and shortens the palate a little
Judge 2	bright straw. Delicate nose, smoke, lees, subtle reduction. Savoury palate, reduction has tightened this up nicely and really contained the fruit concentration. Ripe melon, white peach, underripe yellow nectarine and apricot. Lees, smoke, cashew nut. Nicely structured too - oak use is nice.
Judge 3	Some very nice soft white floral aromas, very varietal. Nice balance and grip. Very pleasant, soft, varietal style.
Associate Judge	Toasty nose but a slight damp paper character. Reduction carries through into the palate. The palate is quite alluring with warm bread and spices on the palate
