Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	oak and some reduction , chewy tannin pruney fruit
Judge 2	Very classic aromas to the grape with both baked and dried black/blue fruits with sweet and savory spices. Loads of floral notes. Super pretty and classic on the palate - firm tannins on the finish.
Judge 3	Plum pudding, juicy damson plum juice, white pepper. Precise aromatics. Nice lithe and lifted palate with detail and controlled fruit. Good spice to the finish which is long, detailed and cleansed by bright acid.
Associate Judge	Pomegranate, date, red plum, love the acidity and tannins driving the fruit
