Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 Dark and essencey, some bright raspberry seams threaded through the blackness. Exotic spice lift, just a tiny bit stewy at its heart.
Judge 2 A more opulent style with plush red and black fruits. Lots of berries here with mulberry pie edges. Quite slatey in its make up it has interest and depth to boot. Oak just a bit much here.
Judge 3 Intense inky ruby. Balsamic briary fruit. M acidity, has some mid palate fruit sweetness and depth to go with the extremely dry fruit tannin finish
Associate Judge Covered up fruit, lacks drive on pal. Drying finish without fruit to balance.
