Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	84
Judge 1	ripe, peach, overt, big up front, some phenolic interest across the palate but a bit of a hole in the middle flavour wise
Judge 2	v. aromatic. sunflower seed, coriander stalk, lime leaf, ginger root. lemongrass. palate punches but hins out immediatey.
Judge 3	Mid lemon straw, not super clear. Nose is a touch lactic, white gorgonzola dulce, then almond paste. Palate is mid weight and oak fermented, bit of new oak formic acid on the up. Characterful but a little bit distracting. Not fresh for a 25.
Associate Judge	Apricot, musk lolly. Sweet palate but supported by acid although the palate finishes flabby.
