Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88.5
Judge 1	good, vibrant cherry fruit, quite extracted and savoury tannins, but in balance and style
Judge 2	Deep colour with lots of blackberry and mulberry fruit. Big soft and juicy on the palate with some firm, slightly bitter tannins - touch of florals on the palate
Judge 3	charred meat, sweet fruit up front, pretty hefty tannins. bit blocky but nice concentration
Associate Judge	Reductive. Bold, tightly wound. Fruit closed. Bitter, tar, dusty mouthfeel. Wants to unfurl.
