Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Blood orange and juniper....is this wine or a negroni?? A kooky fly spray top note. Lean and juicy in the mouth....fine finish. intriguing
Judge 2	A spiced nose with Sichuan and ume, really lovely edges of this wine with depth and drive. Lots of red currants floating around but the cystaline fruit quality is commendable.
Judge 3	Pale ruby. Formic Mondeuse-like aroma. Light body. M acidity, soft tannin.
Associate Judge	A bit dusty on the nose which slightly flows through to the pal. Would like to see more fruit on nose and pal. Acid sits well, has some good components
