Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Compotey fruit, supple and gently chewy. Some dry leaf definition and fine, sooty tannins. A fraction tighter and we'd potentially have a gold here
Judge 2	Deep violets and cassis woven with some savoury meatiness that brings an old world edge to the wine. Certainly some varietal greeness but not in a way that detracts from the final result. A really well woven structure with drive, interest and complexity. A very sophisticated wine with balance and finesse.
Judge 3	M ruby. Leafy red fruit, pyrazine typicity. Cooked veg. Acidity is jarring and tannins aggressive and green. Lacks middle weight to carry
Associate Judge	Classic characters, cassis, herbal characters. Acid on pal is bright, great pal weight, nice balance.
