Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	91
Judge 1	Nice colour, but lacking lift and varietal definition on the nose and palate. Dry red like.
Judge 2	Dark fruit, savoury. Bay, thyme, green olive brine. Firm structure, just enough fruit to balance, and then a flush of fresh fruit to finish. Long.
Judge 3	Lifted aromatics. Crunchy, bright red fruits tempered by assured tannins. Modern and rustic at once.
Associate Judge	deep ruby red, dark chocolate, mint, full bodied palate, complex, long finish, great structure
