Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	85
Judge 1	peppery violet perfume, leaner red fruited style, quite light on its feet, lovely freshness
Judge 2	fresh red berries, some herbal notes, juicy and crisp acidity but falls away and finished slightly oily
Judge 3	bright red fruit marred by a touch of burnt rubber on the nose and palate - simple and sweet frutied. Lacks complexity or balance - too soft
Associate Judge	Intense colour. Bloody, stocky, meaty core. Stewed red fruits, like to see more freshness. Doesn't carry the palate.
