Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	lovely vibrant purple fruit, lively and intense, tart and crunchy, good flow across palate, fine tannins
Judge 2	crunchy red cherry plum fruit - a touch of salted japanese plum on the nose. Rich and sweet fruited on the palate - firm tannins, lookign for a tad more vibrancy/nervosity of acid. Not screamingly varietal but well made and harmonious.
Judge 3	char and tar, coffee, plush velvety fruit, of a style
Associate Judge	brilliant colour, vivid, purple edge... nose has a pine needle edge, dark fruits. Raw, pure, primary. Chewy mid palate, nice drive. Plushness, acid and savoury edge all inherent to this variety.
