Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	tawny, with gold flashes, some rancio though not OTT, generous round and mouth filling. great fresh muscat characters needs more age to base to really go to the next level
Judge 2	nice rancio character, orange peel spice and marzipan, good balance, solid aged coco nib. since vanilla cardamom pod.
Judge 3	Christmas cake, quince, fig and date, white spice and mulberry. The palate is fine and sweet - flavours could linger for longer but offers some lovely drinking pleasure.
Associate Judge	burnt oranges, candied citrus, nurti grain, great length well intergrated alcohol really nice style
Associate Judge	Lifted, some complexity, some aldehyde, raisin skin, nice depth of flavour, some aldehyde, raisins, heat of alcohol standing apart, needs more integration.
