Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Some soft red fruits and bruised petals under a reductive blanket. Just a bit hard and clunky on the finish.
Judge 2	A reduced nose that translates into the wine. Fruit that feels stretched out and bit tired by the finish.
Judge 3	Bright M ruby. Ripe red fruit. Smoky red fruit flavour, soft medium acidity, quite succulent, cleansing tannin finish
Associate Judge	Reductive, green under ripe character. Wanting more fruit brightness. Pal is disjointed.
