Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	good fruit weight, good oak integration, just a touch one dimensional
Judge 2	Flinty, gun powder funk, good solids management adding lift and dimensions over citrus pith. Long with drive. Has phenolicsbut in check.
Judge 3	Lovely. Very worked style, but good pure fruit on the mid palate, extending length and saline acidity. All things in place - classy wine. Glossy. Oaky finish pulls this down off a silver
Associate Judge	toasty vanila and walnut on nose lemon pith acidity is bright need more time to integrate but nice creamy palette.
Associate Judge	Little agar on front palate causing bitterness on finish. Citrus profile present but squeezed out to finish
