Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Overall Score	95
Judge 1	bunchy , dark and complex , brooding palate with moreish delisius tannin . layered and full of flavour
Judge 2	Very floral, wild mint, juicy ripe/mature fruits both preserved and fruit leather. Solid structure - tart and wildfruits mouthwatering, floral with savory and earthy notes on the finish
Judge 3	Pretty red rose, lifted, raspberry, strawberry above pepper spice. Lithe and lifted. Palate is bright and high-toned - red plum, raspberry, nutmeg are framed by a firm tannin and acid line bringing length. I like it for its high-toned and fresh appeal
Associate Judge	Leafy and minty, light young cheery and mocha oak. Good acid lift just need a bit more length
