Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Inky dark fruits old spice (touch medicinal?) and exotic floral elements. Salty peaty element dense plush palate.
Judge 2	Reduced, some geranium, aldehydic characters - bounces you out. No purchase.
Judge 3	Herbal element on the nose, complimenting the fruit. Balanced tannins to the wine overall.
Associate Judge	Fresh lift, mint, menthol, nice blue fruit on pal, a tad tight from perhaps being picked early. Worked lovely with the prosciutto.
