Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Bright dense colour, opaque in the glass. Youthful and a little closed. Excellent depth and balance. Good length of flavour. Big but holds interest. Still intact and not pushed.
Judge 2	Bright deeply coloured. Veil of H2S reveals savoury dark fruit notes beneath. Ball of fruit is balanced by fine tannins and soft acid. H2S hardens the palate too much.
Judge 3	subdued, sl reduction, but subtle pperfume, needs air but a solid wine
Associate Judge	Slight leathery character, savoury, broad
