Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	84
Judge 1	Smoky with light lemon notes. Grainy texture with fair balancing acidity before the smokiness takes over on the palate.
Judge 2	light straw. Nose is soft herbs and white strawberry top, some kiwi and pineapple tropical fruits. Palate is light to medium weighted, round-ish, medium acidity. Some zestiness there, but a touch watery/ dilute perhaps.
Judge 3	Pale gold, heady blossom aromas, some funky reductive notes - palate with ripe stone fruit but still with that savoury funky/ cheesy note apparent.
Associate Judge	pear, gala apple, ginger spice, bark resin, juniper, tonic. crunchy and quinine edged.
