Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	There is an attractive charry/diesel note to the oak, but it tends to dry the palate a little too much
Judge 2	Savoury herb and some potpurri dried roses scent. Pretty in its lightness with quite cocky tannins for the juicy style- falls on its alcohol imbalance
Judge 3	Leather and showing signs of development. Pencil oak. Round palate but lacks definition.
Associate Judge	slight brown colour, savoury, lacks fruit
