Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	sl pine oak, S&V chips, resin, savoury palate, oak tannins prominent, fruit probably to lean for all the work
Judge 2	Showing some lanoline and candied citrus. Nutty, nectarine and good use of oak
Judge 3	Almond kernel nose, warmth to fruit profile, clunky oak phenolics
Associate Judge	salty nose, lemon pith same on palate, oak dominant on finish
Associate Judge	Richer, rounder style of chardonnay, lots of high toned interesting fruit. Structure is kept in check and allows the wine to be shown in a more voluptuous light without losing integrity of fruit or finishing short.
