Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Intense dark colour but quite aldehydic. Attractive fruit on palate but suffering from oxidation. Aldehyde character dominates
Judge 2	Purple, young and effervescent; very grapey, attractively so, but too 'primary'?
Judge 3	Intense core of primary fruit, zingy acidity keeps it fresh, plush palate. Ultra primary fruit
Associate Judge	Excellent, deep inky purple colour. Intense, fragrant black berries and logonberries. Even palate. Very good fruit intensity and length with balanced fine tannins.
