Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	83
Judge 1	VA. Port-like characters. Over ripe and short on palate.
Judge 2	a bit forward pushed and some awkward coconut oak makes it challenging
Judge 3	Pine/menthol note on nose a touch off-putting, as is medicinal palate.
Associate Judge	Sharp, red dark toasty bark shavings. Mint lift. Well handled tannin. Long and persistent, chewy and salivating. Mint holds it back.
