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