Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Most peculiar nose: smells like a mixed back of Natural Confectionary Company forbidden fruit. Youthful estery. Smells freshly pulled from the tank. Not especially vinous smelling. And how it tastes really, although a bit more substantial than expected.
Judge 2	foxy vegetal bitter palate, geranium
Judge 3	overt cassis and pine. A little obvious and unrestrained. confected palate, too simple. Almost cloying in this class.
Associate Judge	Reduced nose rustic sulphides accentuating a herbal ping. Boiled sweet confectionary but overpowered greener elements and reduction
