Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Lithe, sinewy. A greyhound not a mastiff. Bright red fruit fruits, detailed composition and balletic momentum trough a long, fine, micro-dusty finish.
Judge 2	A chambord drinkers dream. Lots of red rope liquorice here, a fun wine that posses the structure to keep it together. A great example of a lighter style.
Judge 3	V bright M ruby. Fresh berry fruit. Surprisingly high acisity fornthe variety but not totally out of place given the relatively light weight. Refreshing finish
Associate Judge	Closed off nose - reduction. Carries through to pal, pal is close - reasonable structure, nice acid brigtness but lacks fruit to support
