Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	85
Judge 1	Fruit-focussed with ripe lemon and orange blossom notes. Lightly candied fruit with savoury lees complexity underneath. Subtle length.
Judge 2	Warm straw. Nose is in the stinky-tropical fruit zone like guava or similar, some new oak perhaps. A little distracting. Palate is quite sweetly fruited, perhaps there is sweet new oak in the mix. Not sure what's trying to be achieved here, overall the impression is one of artificial sweetness.
Judge 3	Pale to medium gold. Savoury umami chicken stock aromas over white blossom on nose, palate much more fragrant with heady blossom/botrytis richness but cloying, vanillin.
Associate Judge	parmesan cheese. flint and smoke. creamy palate, vanilla, green cardoman, palm sugar. interesting layers, bit sweet and waxy through the finish. fairly oaky
