Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Jubey fruit sweetness, a tapenade edge. Soft and supple, a lingering sweetness that could unkindly be called 'sluggish'
Judge 2	Deeply thick and purple this wine has deep rich fruit and think extracted fruit. Feels worked and slightly pushed. Tannins are bit clunky
Judge 3	Developing fruit compote aromas. Hollow middle, tannins are around the dges and then dry out finish
Associate Judge	Super rich and broody. Tapenade, fruit sweetness on the pal but oak / tannins are a little jarring.
