Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	83
Judge 1	Lime soap and pine on the nose lacks appeal. This doesn't seem varietal; short on flavour and length.
Judge 2	Simple nose, a bit pongy. basic, one dimensional.
Judge 3	Flinty and toasty aroma, its very classy oak but just too much. Palate is sweet and dry with oak tannin.
Associate Judge	Apricot skin, nutmeg + clove. Well handled fruit. Oak nicely encompassing the wine, supple phenolics.
