Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Just a little grubby? Some dusty drying tannin and a little clipped to finish.
Judge 2	deeper mid red, bright. Dense fruit aromas, dark and red. really good fruit weight. Oak in check. quite structural tannins.
Judge 3	Nose is a bit dulled. Palate has good structure but is lacking fruit and acid to flesh out and bring complexity.
Associate Judge	dried flowers and spice, ripe plum and dark cherry, more purple fruited, some fine tannin that falls a little bit short
