Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Menthol. Odd character. Not very Malbec. Lacks integrity and balance.
Judge 2	Blue fruit, delicate. Pal is a little restrained, delicate and pretty but lacking fruit intensity. Good acid line.
Judge 3	Suggestion of some pure fruit and crunch, clean and some nice juice but doesn't quite go somewhere interesting in length/complexity.
Associate Judge	med minus intensity on the nose, minimal fruit, light tannin and overall structure with light strawberry notes
