Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Overall Score	97
Judge 1	Leafy and fragrant, some amaro and spice. Lithe, sinewy palate, taut acidity and terracotta tannins. An intriguing wine of inherent drinkability and gastronomic versatility
Judge 2	Light and bright with tart red cranberries and a zippy acid that expels flavour to every crevice. A more simple ideation of the variety but one that does it well, nicely woven tannin, well managed shiny fruit and a taught structure and keeps the wine on the straight and narrow.
Judge 3	M- garnet. Bright cherry fruit. M+ acidity, fine savoury tannin finish with fresh mid-palate weight. Good linearity
Associate Judge	Red fruit with a menthol note, pretty and delicate. Pal lacks a bit of drive but tannins sit well within structure of wine.
