Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	90.5
Judge 1	good, enticing, vibrant glossy cherry fruit, snappy and juicy, touch of botanical complexity. a touch simple on finish
Judge 2	restrained on nose - some woody herbal notes and quite earthy. Medium bodies with firm acid and tannin - lacks a little fruit density but quite attractive in a simple way.
Judge 3	subtle nose, tight, structured wine, red and black plum nicely interwined, tannins carry the fruit nicely. an elegant take.
Associate Judge	Herbaceous, paired back, red fruited style. Purity of fruit with nice restraint. Elegant through the palate with appealing dusty tannins. Savoury, phenolic finish.
