Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Richly fruited and fleshy with a seam of cherry oak running through it. A touch cumbersome and cloying,
Judge 2	Red grapefruit flesh and citrus oils here with quiet sweet fruit. Starts well but comes apart in the mid palate with a lack of structure and power to drive the wine and manage the powdery tannins it possesses.
Judge 3	Light garnet. Ageing red fruit and farmyard notes. M acidity, medium weight, some savoury tannin but on the way out…
Associate Judge	Bit thin on the fruit on nose and pal. Pal is softer but lacks fruit power to lift wine, tannins are softer but leave wine without balance.
