Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	85.5
Judge 1	Mid-weight and sinewy. Dry, skinny fruit, some rubbed herb and twig. Good momentum through the palate
Judge 2	White pepper and tabacco leaf find a home in this wine. Gaunt in structure this wine shows the fine bones this variety can have.A pretty and delicate example with dimension that extends beyond the first sip. A mint character to the back palate creates a juxsta of fruit and green.
Judge 3	M ruby, lighter than most. Restrained fruit. Lighter midle, red fruit forward. Lacks distinction
Associate Judge	Dense fruit, bit closed off / 1D. Pal has reasonable structure, lacks lift and drive.
