Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	cherry pip , slightly green notes , light and fine , falls a little short
Judge 2	Bay leave, roasted fruits and some veg, bloody and savory. Firm, dense and concentrated fruit...warmed/cooked plums/cherries. Tart and savory on the finish. A bit of an outlier with a lighter touch to this
Judge 3	Bright red plum on the nose which lacks complexity beyond. There's brightness to the palate, but its similarly lacking in complexity. Short palate with sinewy tannins..
Associate Judge	Clean lifted fruit, a bit lean, would like to see more intensity on palate
