Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Trophy	Best of the Rest
Judge 1	bright aromatic red fruits with a beetroot core , delicous dark cherry palate , falavousome , depp flavour with lightness
Judge 2	Inky/deep and dark purple color, youthful rim. Blackberry and plum preserves with mixed spices, LOADS of violets that give way to some slight savory notes - which I really enjoy. Solid aromatics - very complete. Plate is rich and chewy - firm tannins. Solid core of concentrated plum fruit with mixed spices finishing with a slight roasted earth category. Good balance. Solid wine
Judge 3	Restrained aromas of pot pourri and plum. Fruit at the fore on the palate mirroring the nose. Plum, red florals. A touch short and lacking in complexity and structure.
Associate Judge	Lively Turkish delight, confectionary, soft acid and good length
