Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	fresh red berries, some herbal notes, juicy and crisp acidity but falls away and finished slightly oily
Judge 2	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
Judge 3	peppery violet perfume, leaner red fruited style, quite light on its feet, lovely freshness
Associate Judge	Intense colour. Bloody, stocky, meaty core. Stewed red fruits, like to see more freshness. Doesn't carry the palate.
