Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
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	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.
Judge 3	Great brightness. soft and round. quite compact but then tannins bring through length. lovely interpreation of style. beautifully made wine.
Associate Judge	Clean, good colour and depth, juicy blueberry, drying tannins, slightly short?
