Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	85.5
Judge 1	big, ripe, dense, lots of oak, power, shortish simple and brooding
Judge 2	pretty hue, fresh fruit but very lemon based acid.
Judge 3	oak heavy - bright soured plums and damson leaf - layered oak tannins and tart end note
Associate Judge	Cordial notes, a bit of pickle as well, then some late white pepper. Bright and spicy with just enough fleshy fruits to come through. Sweet oak on the back takes something away.
