Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88.5
Judge 1	Slightly reductive. Dark, fennel scented fruit, some sour cherry acidity. Very fine, powdery tannin frame. Fine framework, willowy finish
Judge 2	Very pretty on the nose with violet pastilles and deep red florality. Lovely tension in the wine with a touch of dried herb and meatiness in the back. A pretty and plush example elevated by poise.
Judge 3	Bright M- ruby. Young raw red fruit reduction. Firm astringent tannin finish overrides mid-pLate fruit. Clunky structure
Associate Judge	Bright and lifted nose. Pretty darker florals, blue fruit. Balanced pal with very fine talc tannins, bright acid. Well balanced with body, fruit and freshness.
