Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Exotic spices/rose petal dark cherries/plums . touch prune/ heat.
Judge 2	Wet cement tannins, slightly muddy flavour profile, with herbal and white pepper lift. Pokey (alcohol) finish.
Judge 3	Softer and rounder than many of the bracket - still with discernible yet balanced tannins. Much more lifted perfume to the wine, quite 'feminine' compared against others.
