Judging Results

Overall Score	84
Judge 1	Rich, slightly desicated oak. Volatile. Tired.
Judge 2	Very dark purple in the glass, this wine smells of dried flowers and oak. In the mouth, rich black cherry, black tea, blueberry and dried flowers are wrapped in suede-like tannins and remain bouncy thanks to execllent fresh acidity. A classic expresson of the variety.
Judge 3	Sweet blackcurrant lactic funk, strawberry stalk. Deep dark yet a touch oxy and flabby lacking true definition
Associate Judge	tart blackberry, green apple nose. green appley palate
