Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	87
Judge 1	Pleasant apple skin nose, but immediately lacks a bit of tension on lime cordial-like palate. Holds up OK but not enough to hold interest.
Judge 2	A bit plain, simple. One dimensional fruit. White florals, white fruited. Simple for me, nice dry white.
Judge 3	Soft and floral aromatically with a little lanolin and flint. Really showing poise on the palate. Flavours are golden delicous, quince, spicy cinnamon apple pie. quite rocky and firm. Very nice finish.
Associate Judge	Gentle sulphide. Almond meal and pith. All up front on the palate. Coarse acid line, salivating acid. Missing fruit.
