Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	83
Judge 1	deep golden colour, complex, bruised pear, skinsy, v rich and textured but with slight mousy note on finish that lingers
Judge 2	deep/mid gold. touch of frosty fruit, skinsy and salt kissed beach skin. waxy florals. acacia. great tension, fruit concentration drives through the skinsy character. Grippy texture. lots to love here. Still offers a clean line and shapliness with the textural, larger notes.
Judge 3	skinsy orange rind, toasted hazlenut nose. lacking fruit on the palate, savoury bomb that blocks length and fruit.
Associate Judge	cedar wood, sandy wood, meaty fatty acid like Italian ham mortadella, a bit savory, green olive, a bit phenolic on back palate
