Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Vegetal greener edge. Some cola and dusty tannin. Bit forward
Judge 2	Dark garnet in the glass with purple highlights, this wine smells of prunes and roasted figs. In the mouth, rich black cherry and prune flavors are nestled into velvety tannins but lack the acidity to keep them fresh. Notes of raisin in the finish. Ultimately I think a little overripe
Judge 3	ripe fruit, dough, xmas spices. also with a green edge. under/over ripe notes. black olive. want more freshness on the palate.
Associate Judge	bramble, touch of baking spice. Softness and approachability, not a structural wine but pretty
