Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Overall Score	95
Judge 1	Charming red-fruited nose - rhubarb and raspberries. Red fruits continue on the palate - almost Malbec spectrum. Oak hovers above the wine a little too much.
Judge 2	Macerated fruits, mulberry, plum. Ink, cardamon. Ripe and fleshy. M+ tannins are fairly fine and build to firm the palate and balance fruit. Flush of sweet oak detracts on the finish.
Judge 3	Lovely nose with spiced plum and perfume. Complex dried sweet spice and black fruit palate with firm tannins and length. Delightful.
Associate Judge	highly attractive blue fruits, some herbaceous notes. Long savoury palate, red fruits and ripe tannins
