Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1complex oatmeal and struck match aromas. balanced fruit, good length
Judge 2Lanoline, solidsy funk and savoury, perhaps lacking a touch of fruit purity in favour of solidsy character. Savory, salty palate with some grippy phenolics
Judge 3Oak too heavy handed - claws at the finish. Hard work.
Associate Judgeflinty gunpowder very quiet nose. very descreet but structured pink lady apple peel in the end
Associate JudgeSuper sweaty reductive in style, phosphorous. Comes through onto palate. Reduction to much for the weight of the fruit
