Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	big colour, white horse , complex spicy notes , lacks clean fruit characters
Judge 2	colour looking advanced, little forward, marzipan, crème brulee, odd, VA? out there. bretty
Judge 3	Toasted white truffle, dried ginger... there's a lack of freshness to the aromas. Colour appears advanced and golden. Cheese rind and bruised citrus. A shame that the grubbiness continues through the palate because there are some very satisfying bakery/grilled yellow peach characters lingering around.
