Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	Plush boysenberry fruit, some rubbed herb grippiness. Supple, medium weight and well balanced.
Judge 2	A great wine, poise and finesse here. Lovely layers of fruit that are intricately laced with winemaking, such class here shown to a variety that is so often a rough and tumble kind of wine. Smooth granitic edges here and some savoury spice shows real care and passion for the variety.
Judge 3	M ruby. Cola fruit. Hollow middle, medium acidity with savoury finish. Lacks core of interest
Associate Judge	Plum, sour cherry, density. Pal delicacy of fruit, lighter style, fruit is a little light on and slightly falls away at back.
