Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	86
Judge 1	fruit lift, acid, some texture but a little short, crisp
Judge 2	subdued nose with a hint of shell, white blossom, lacks fruit on the nose. Lively palate, acid zip, crunch and just there texture. A pleasant wine.
Judge 3	Bright straw. Aromatics in the flowers-wilting-in-a-vase profile, hint of an odd TCa/b/c character that isn't cork but might be derived from something in processing, low level but detectable. Palate has that bright shardy acidity, whatever the dampening character on the nose, it's not marring the palate much, but the wine tends a little souring.
Associate Judge	White flowers. Slippery oily character. Lacks a bit of focus. Finishes with a nice mandarin. Overall the wine is a little directionless
