Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	mod pale, slight reduction and green bean lift, palate fresh spectrum with crunchy acid phenolic balance gd
Judge 2	funky, fume style, clear oak influence, nice take, reasonable executed. good fruit weight. finish? intrigueing nonetheless.
Judge 3	Savoury/sweaty nose - this is not a bad thing. There is body and structure and weight. There is also something in the finish that isn't quite the right fit - the oak perhaps?
Associate Judge	bit reductive, leafy, asparagus, guava, lovely bright fruit, flinty finish. quite textured. an attractive style
Associate Judge	So2 hard edge on nose, lime, juicy, orange zest, tad over extracted. OK
