Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Overall Score	96
Judge 1	Floral, almond blossom, stone fruit, ginger, varietal, suggestion of oak on the palate that works well with fruit weight, kernel bitterness seems correct on the substantial finish.
Judge 2	Smoke, nuts, reduction on the nose. Apricot aroma is gently. Lees savouriness on the nose too. Palate is impressive - creamy, toasty, nutty, perfect fruit ripeness with locked in structure. Compact, dense core that drives home. Nouget, spice, floral honey... there is a lot here!
Judge 3	Creamed corn, (stale oak?) sweet palate, sweet corn, baked apples, some white pepper. Sweetness out of balance.
Associate Judge	Apricot danish, popcorn, peach seed, apricot nectar - heavy set. Round, textured, forward on the palate. Coating of oak and glycerol. Kudos for the acid.
