Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	85.5
Judge 1	Introverted nose. Clean fruit on palate, but a little one dimensional and hollow.
Judge 2	Matte look, less lift, some nice fruit on entry, slight dispirin aspect to the palate and fades at end.
Judge 3	nice color, earthy and a bit exotic, Chinese spices, palate is tight fresh and really interesting, texture also works well, quite a blend!
Associate Judge	BBQ chicken + lavendar. Dried herbs. Lovely complex fruit balance. All the berries. Lovely tannin management. Balanced. Complex - a little cool blue on acid. I like it. For now. Not for cellar
