Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	83
Judge 1	Nose is a bit dulled. Palate has good structure but is lacking fruit and acid to flesh out and bring complexity.
Judge 2	deeper mid red, bright. Dense fruit aromas, dark and red. really good fruit weight. Oak in check. quite structural tannins.
Judge 3	Just a little grubby? Some dusty drying tannin and a little clipped to finish.
Associate Judge	dried flowers and spice, ripe plum and dark cherry, more purple fruited, some fine tannin that falls a little bit short
