Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	stringy oak ,a little flat ,chalky tannin , depp heavy fruit
Judge 2	Dark and inkny in color. Dark fruit preserve like notes with a touch of plum skin, dried flowers and twig/bark aromas. The palate is chewy and dense with concentrated black hued fruit notes, mainly preserved/dried.
Judge 3	Restrained aromas led by plum, subtle red florals, delicate spice, and a glimmer of dusty nuance. Nice lithe and cool feel to the palate. Red plum, red cherry, subtle pepper. Good intensity here, with firm but fine tannins and a wash of acidity pulling it long.
Associate Judge	Slight closed, touch of sulphites, earthy finish
