Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	A plush, broader-shouldered style. Rich fruit, rubbed herd, some Dutch licorice dryness. Nicely poised and good momentum across the palate and through the finish.
Judge 2	A large blueberry essence here, very round and lacks drive. Rambunctious, overly extracted fruit feels glycolic in the mouth. A cooked cabbage note throughout.
Judge 3	Deep ruby, violet hue. Meaty (reduction) but not without interest. Dark fruit underneath. Full flavoured, good mid- palate weight, medium acidity in balance and cleansing tannin finish. A touch heavy but has interest
Associate Judge	A well structured and well made wine but doesn't jump out to me. Balance on the pal is good and has nice spectrum of dark fruits.
