Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	84
Judge 1	Bright and blue. Round, supple tannins wrapped in a well defined shell. Lovely balance. Malbec???
Judge 2	Desiccated, sweet spice, blue fruit. This carries through to the palate but is lacking freshness. Good structure and fruit presence but lacks lift.
Judge 3	Firm colour, a touch of leaf, some nice fruit here but a bit of greeness exposed on the finish. Revisiting, fruit looks a little overdone.
Associate Judge	darker, pruned fruit, decaying violets, hot and dense
