Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	pale, little muted fresh blossom, palate slightly cracked oak/fruit/acid all separate.
Judge 2	solid, wfsf, c/s, nice purity of fruit, little muted, but pure and crystalline. nice taut acid and clarity. touch lifted.
Judge 3	Beautiful fruit here - really pure and fresh, couched snugly beneath a spicy layer of oak and winemaker. The finish leaves a linger of sweet oak, without which it wouldn't have half the length. Elegant, spicy, refreshing. Chewy. Moorish. Problematic.
Associate Judge	honeyed peaches, chamomile, ripe fruit big fruit, good length
Associate Judge	buttery, mealy, butterscotch, nice acid - limey, lemon zest, butter hangs nicely the acid, finish buttery. bit old fashioned and a bit unbalanced.
