Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Black seeded fruits and crispy plum skin, with a hint of spice. Nice varietal notes and some crunchy varietal acid. Simple wine but nice balance and weight.
Judge 2	Spicy and fragrant, Christmas cake spice. A riper style, with the fresh acidity to balance fruit but alcohol detracts.
Judge 3	Briny oak hovers above ripe fruit. That fruit is expressive, varietal. Balance is there though liberation of fruit (less oak) would see this as Gold
