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