Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88.5
Judge 1	super sweet vibrant purple aromatics, bright and jubey, some tangy tannins
Judge 2	unusual nose of red sour cherry and salty sheeps milk cheese, some flinty savory minerality. Dense and dark on the palate, very firm tannins balance the moderate acid, very textural/powdery dryness on the finish.
Judge 3	sweet spice, dark cocoa, black fruit hiding underneath, lots of oak there, all chocolate on the palate, structure oak derived too.
Associate Judge	Black red, ruby hue. Nose a touch shy/ reductive/ amaro (vegetal?)... black forest cake, dark fruit flavours. Intense, tightly wound palate. Awesome structure, powerful fruit tannin and nice fruit purity. Built to last.
