Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	84.5
Judge 1	A big, expansive style...slightly smudged at the edges and hollow in the middle. Bullied by oak.
Judge 2	Reduced on the nose, dark, vanilla cola smeared fruit. Almost a chocolate note going on in the mid palate. Feels clunky and lacks a direction.
Judge 3	M+ ruby. Concentrated dark briary fruit. Supporting oak. Big, dark sweet fruit, tightly wound firm finish
Associate Judge	Richness and density of fruit underpinned with sweet spice and cola but a slight reductive notes? Pal shows great richness, powerful but subtle tannins (MWT)
