Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	83.5
Judge 1	Slightly dirty aromas, a bit earthy and chewy, extracted
Judge 2	cherry cordial on the nose - very concentrated and sweet - cherry liqueur dark chocolate on the palate - too much ripeness and sweetness here for me - and then bitter tannins
Judge 3	sappy nose, lush black fruit, bit soapy, hard edge
Associate Judge	Ripe, full throttle, dark, brooding. Some dried fruit, harder tannin, almost in a Cabernet frame. Like to see more plushness here. Well built though.
