Judge 1	Lovely floral aroma with some toasty oak and reduction. Lovely flow of golden apple, pear and nectarine. Very nice fresh finish.
Judge 2	A little closed and missing aromatic charm on the nose; but there are good elements there. Feels restrained, with pleasant juicy creaminess to the palate and some zest.
Judge 3	Reduced, gluey note. Closed in on the palate. Hard, rubbery note runs through palate.
Associate Judge	Lemon blossom, tart apricot, white nectarine, toast. Flattened fruit, sour acid line. RS
