Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Overall Score	95
Judge 1	Med+ intensity, dark fruit, savoury. Saline/seaweed character, undergrowth. Dark fruit, firm tannin. Aspirational style but does it have the fruit to carry all that structure?
Judge 2	Lovely fragrant nose. quite floral but still lots of intensity and blue berry fruit. Palate is balanced with a nice core of acid and good length.
Judge 3	Savoury edge to the nose as main focus; balanced but slightly grippy tannins. Good length
Associate Judge	Died petals, pencil oak. Med weight palate, delicate fruits. Drying tannin.
