Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	90.5
Judge 1	Plum and dark cherry with spice beneath. Vibrancy and verve to the palate, with red fruits and spice melding well. Paced with flavour framed by good tannin and acid. Long length.
Judge 2	cherry and leaf , core of red berries , currant notes, good energy and shape
Judge 3	Very plum forward (grilled/preserved/fruit leather) with minty, tobacco and mixed spices. Lush on the palate forward - tannins sneak up on the finish with slight burnt high EtOH note...good nose missing balance on the palate.
Associate Judge	Lifted perfume, some whole bunch characters, pretty but just a bit simple
