Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	91
Judge 1	Lifted aromatics. Crunchy, bright red fruits tempered by assured tannins. Modern and rustic at once.
Judge 2	Nice colour, but lacking lift and varietal definition on the nose and palate. Dry red like.
Judge 3	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.
Associate Judge	deep ruby red, dark chocolate, mint, full bodied palate, complex, long finish, great structure
