Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	pale, complex nose , citrus some marizipan. austere but quite long with nice persistence.
Judge 2	nice, exotic, on the peachy side, wfsf, c/s, oak a little drying, touch masking the fruit.
Judge 3	Green fingerlime, citrus blossom, granny smith apple, pure and salty, a very very pretty wine! Ultimately good length of flavour, not great, and only lightly oaked - lacks power and drive. Everything within is clean and fresh. Short.
Associate Judge	nose quite closed, palate caraway, fennel seeds, touch marzipan on the back palate
