Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	84
Judge 1	Ripe but indistinct nose, fully and unctuous, a little saggy so it falls short. One dimensional.
Judge 2	Closed down nose. Not much here. Palate is neutral - RS sticks out.
Judge 3	Floral, Lilies and mint, quince. Nice slip and slid on the palate. Some rocks, fruit lacing a little. Firm nectarine, golden delicous. Just a touch short / minty
Associate Judge	Apricot kernel, peach flesh, jasmine tea, waxy. Ripper style, fuller palate weight - broad. Phenolic grip adding interest.
