Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	mod col, quite oaky , palate little tired and faded, oak lactone and malo characters
Judge 2	Flinty and rich, a mouthful of flavour. Plenty of interest and intensity. There is a parrafin wax character through the midpalate. Want to see a tad more freshness in this wine - even though it is 2017.
Judge 3	older, some more toasty characters, spice, citrus, some wax and lanolin, fruit falling away
Associate Judge	a bit funky but warm feeling in the palate.
Associate Judge	Slight dusty, dirty, covering nice fruit. Nice acid, fleshy white fruits and lime. Let down by nose.
