Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Overall Score	96
Judge 1	Intense crimson ruby. Moderate aromas, plum, mulberry, vibrant ripeness, scented. Good fruit and extract balance, very pleasant flavours. Fractionally green tannin that puckers the mouth. Still good.
Judge 2	Great brightness. soft and round. quite compact but then tannins bring through length. lovely interpreation of style. beautifully made wine.
Judge 3	Ripe and crunchy with nice bright cherry and raspberry fruit with dried spice notes. Good vibrant energy yet in a juicy and very approachable style without being simple. Well done.
Associate Judge	Clean, good colour and depth, juicy blueberry, drying tannins, slightly short?
