Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	brown colour, complex older wine, nice, good tannins, slightly pokey acidity.
Judge 2	very green - herbal edged, lots of sinew. has some good fruit around it but feels hard edged.
Judge 3	2018 oak fused dried herbs and fruits - defined and tight tannins with a hint of bittered grip - fruit slowly falls away
Associate Judge	Showing a very serious side, things seem quite subdued though, maybe a bit over-macerated? Big and powerful, certainly more heft and weight, alcohol a bit overwhelming, oak sits on top of eerything.
