Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	85
Judge 1	Black fruited. Some red in the mix. Dense. A little oak dominant, which is also a little coarse.
Judge 2	Dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of smoked meat and dark berries. in the mouth, black plum and black cherry flavors are crushed in a tight fist of tannins that dry the mouth. Massive and brawny, with a bit too much oak influence for my taste.
Judge 3	Sweet mulberry over fresh clay. Plasticine type tannin fresh wild strawberry pip
Associate Judge	delicate ripe blackberry, oak spice, nice firm structure, just ripe black fruits, well held
