Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Dark, panforte fruit. Supple fruit, an espresso edge. Slightly fading right at the back.
Judge 2	A nicely made wine, well balanced tense tannins hold the fruit up and show off its vibrant nature. A bit of oak here but it is not at ends with the wine. A nice interplay between vibrancy and plushness.
Judge 3	M bright ruby. Heavy oak char dominates dark fruit. Good fruit density with oak, ut lacking complexity
Associate Judge	A well rounded wine but would like some more fruit power or intensity, pal is well balanced and has nice bright acid.
