Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	Lovely nose with spiced plum and perfume. Complex dried sweet spice and black fruit palate with firm tannins and length. Delightful.
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	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.
Associate Judge	highly attractive blue fruits, some herbaceous notes. Long savoury palate, red fruits and ripe tannins
