Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	93
Judge 1	Some rose petals and leather, a humming undercurrent of earth and spice. Fine acid framing and brickiest tannins. Smart
Judge 2	An interesting wine, quiet bright fruits with slightly drying tannin on the back palette. Fruit feels a little dried out and rasin like. Heat in the finish.
Judge 3	M ruby. Medium weight. Tight drying tannins dominate finish.
Associate Judge	Some savory notes, dark tapenade, broody. Brightness of acid on the pal and balance with dark fruits. Tannins sit amongst the wine.
