Judging Results

Overall Score	85
Judge 1	Lots of oak slight platic edge dense powerful fruit on palate rich, slightly dead fruit chracters.
Judge 2	Aromatic, violets and savoury (black) peppery backdrop - enticing and follows through from nose to palate. Like that detail but then becomes cloying on the palate (RS?)
Judge 3	Concentration of flavour, yet holding a sense of balance to the wine. Some savoury edge to the nose
Associate Judge	Dull col, smalls a bit boozey rouge but has lift and balance. oak, riper fruit, firmer body, weighty fruit, lacks poise but that's the style. Well-flavoured
