Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	86
Judge 1	M bright ruby. Bright dark fruit, suggestive of savoury. Sinewy middle, reasonable length
Judge 2	A deeper, richer wine made in a bigger style. Certainly has beautiful, pure fruit but is laden with oak that creates a barrier between the wine and the fruit.
Judge 3	Lovely dark fruits, a softly leafy edge. Frontloaded....falls away a fraction the longer you spend looking at it.
Associate Judge	Meaty, leather, dried herbs, pal is dense and rich, well balanced, tannins sit nicely and give length.
