Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	82
Judge 1	Black and brackish, some dry leaf and soot. Slight afterburner.
Judge 2	A real tabacco and tomato leafy character, the fruit is in lovely condition but the green note just over powers it fully. Feels clunky.
Judge 3	Deep ruby. Dull fruit expression, some amaro herbal aromas. Medium-low sweetness. Dull and heavy
Associate Judge	A bit dank and has a green note. Warmth is out of balance, pal doesn't have density to support, slightly drying.
