Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Slightly developed? lacks some freshness. Looks like old barrels.
Judge 2	Dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of blackberries and dried flowers. In the mouth, juicy blackberry and black cherry fruit is wrapped in lightly tacky tannins and shot through with very good acidity. A hint of orange peel here. The tannins are slightly drying, leaving overall a parched quality. Perhaps just too much oak influence here.
Judge 3	ripe fruit. doughy. palate tart, unintegrated acid.
Associate Judge	Alc on the nose, sweet and sour,
