Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Intense tropical things, plus deep preserved dried mango things. Decent depth here, and zesty peel. Some chew
Judge 2	Struck match/solids work upfront, white stone fruit and lemon zest follow, Cashews, hints of nutmeg, lovely oak. Palate is sweet upfront (alcohol/RS), warmth follows, bright acid. Not quite in balance with phenolic grip on finish.
Judge 3	powerful but elegant nose, beautiful florals and a melange of nougat, nuts and waxy notes. full and rich on the palate with good pucker and length. mouth watering. delicious.
Associate Judge	hazelnut brioche lemon zest tang. Oak is adding some raw woody tannin if cut back could be much nicer and watch for VA
