Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	84
Judge 1	jubey, juicy, lighter style, light colour, appealing aromatic wine, just a bit simple and brown edges
Judge 2	raw meat, astringent.
Judge 3	juicy cranberries with spicy meat - little stalky tannins - astrigent hides the fruit
Associate Judge	Stinky and reductive, very earthy. Very savoury and a little wild on the palate, slightly faulty.
