Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Reductive and a bit problematic.
Judge 2	Dark garnet in color, this wine smells of berries, cherries and plum. In the mouth, juicy bright plum and cherry fruit has muscular but supple tannins and juicy acidity. The tannins are slightly drying but there's a charming freshness and fruitiness to this wine that is appealing.
Judge 3	Sweet strawberry yoghurt reduction, whey. Lactic acid Greek yoghurt pop, touch simplistic
Associate Judge	pepperberry, delicate violets, tart blackberry, solid tannin and acid balance, only medium length of fruit and lacking some intensity. but holding itself well
