Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Really bright red cherry and lifted sweet fruit aromas. Great presence in the glass and in the mouth for flavour and tannin. soft and powdery tannins, but just lacks an extra layer of complexity.
Judge 2	Red liquorice, mint, milk chocolate. Juicy, vibrant violets, sweet fruited. Plump and generously styled. Open and unassuming.
Judge 3	Red and blue fruits leap from the glass. Volume on mid-palate suggests intensity. Back palate is contrary. Lovely drink. Cleansing acidity.
Associate Judge	full ruby red, highly perfumed blue fruits and spice, soft plush fruits, clove spice, medium bodied with low acidity, balanced. sweetness noticeable on finish
