Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Overall Score	96
Judge 1	juicy, sl savoury, some texture and length
Judge 2	crushed quartz, lemon leaf, rock salt. nice slippery palate, with a core of fine phenolics. curvaceous but not flabby, structured and firmly expressive. Good length too.
Judge 3	Bright lemony straw. A bit of a reduced edge, giving the florals a cheesy note. But, overall the impression is just savoury. Flavours are soft and rounded, there's a breadth to the wine. Nice if a bit soft.
Associate Judge	Apricot and musk, sweet palate. Nice texture - pithy. Firm acid balances sugar. Nice
