Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	pale, some oak and fine frutit notes, palate is little dull and becomes overtaken by the oak used , nice but a little simple RS
Judge 2	powerful fruit, and rich toasty oak, mid palate delicious but oak is a little drying
Judge 3	Little aroma jumping. the oak just not sitting line with the fruit. Fresh lemons. Not quite there
Associate Judge	stonefruit and mild spice upfront, acidity and balanced oak creaminess to finish
Associate Judge	Fresh white peach nose that’s lifted with toasted oak aromas. Palate rich, powerful and with some weight but banana leaf oak is distracting. Good line and length to the fruit.
