Overall Score	88
Judge 1	Bright clean wine but fruit is a little sweet & confected. Acid slightly out of balance. Evident oak.
Judge 2	Nose slightly closed but leads to a v.good palate. Round and soft palate, with good centre of fruit. Crunchy fruit and finish.
Judge 3	Plenty of oak, dark fruit underneath. Concentrated, briary fruit, lively acidity; unfortunately the oak dries the palate.
Associate Judge	Cherry ripe. Minty. Lots of juicy mid palate fruit sweetness. Textural. Dusty ripe tannins.
