Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	Red fruit and vermouth. Classic Joven style. Good balance and length. Delicious drinking. Powdery tannin.
Judge 2	Dark garnet in the glass with purple highlights, this wine smells of blueberry and black plum. In the mouth, fleecy tannins coat the mouth as blueberry and black plum flavors take a slightly high-toned quality. Black tea on the finish as the tannins dry out the mouth.
Judge 3	Sweet blackcurrant reduction. Fleshy, powdery, papery type tannin
Associate Judge	rich red plums, red cherry, sweet oak spice, decaying violets, dense sweet fruit palate. lots of flavour, but falls a little flat and clunky
