Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	90
Judge 1	more fruit ripeness, quite lifted fragrance, layered mouthfeel, coating and long
Judge 2	Straw, bright. Fruity, pear drop, a little estery on approach. Fresh herbs. Very fruit forward attack, lots of ripe pear. Whack of sugar on the finish. Pokey RS. Lacks some layers and definition.
Judge 3	Beautiful aromatics, Herbacicous and floral. Great flow on the pallet. Lovely tannin, fresh herb and small white fruits. Very nice.
Associate Judge	Pretty nose, talc, rose. Turkish delight on the palate. There is a purity and elegance to the palate but the wine doesn't lack power. A slight bitterness on the finish.
