Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	This is pot-pourri and a bit chaffy. Tastes a bit sweet-stuck. fruit has flavour.
Judge 2	lemon curd, stone fruit, toasty, cashews. RS? Palate is warm to hot on entry, distracting. Bright acid, lovely nutty creamy texture, solid wine.
Judge 3	good ripe chardonnay character. perhaps a touch overripe on the palate. some stone fruit notes creeping in. earlier picked could have helped perhaps.
Associate Judge	peachy but palate is thrown by residual sugar that is developing into caramelised onions like character
