Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	A little mulchy, some red cherries amongs the leaf litter. Acid sits a little separately from the wine....tannins try and wrestle a little sluggish fruit sweetness.
Judge 2	Aromatically charged with all things red fruited, some savoury more leafy herbs. A slightly reduced character to the fruit brings a sulphuric edge. Finishes with a watermelon rind kind of bitterness.
Judge 3	M- ruby. Fresh cherry fruit with oak. M acidity, succulent sweet red fruit middle. Lightly drying tannin very modern style
Associate Judge	Bright, blue fruit, sweet spice, forest floor fruits. Pal is also bright with acid and fruit, great balance with spice, fruit and tannin texture and weight.
