Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	shaded fruit , tropical but underripe at the same time
Judge 2	beautiful freshness and vibrancy, tropical fruit with some figgy herbal edges
Judge 3	Passionfruit. A little greenish. Simple, just not quite on level it could be. Leaner quieter style.
Associate Judge	floral and herby in bouquet and palate, lightly creamy
Associate Judge	Lively nose with some funk. Palate zippy with refreshing lemon zest. Some mealiness and funk to finish. Saline oyster shell. Powerful finish that lingers and integration of fruit profile and oak.
