Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	93
Judge 1	Brett. Palate felt v.clipped
Judge 2	Firm colour, richer darker nose, nice spread of flavours - elderberry to brighter red fruits - but not quite knitted together.
Judge 3	inky in color, mulberries and brambles and plenty off energy on both the nose and palate, finches with a roundness but same time a tannic edge
Associate Judge	Spice box, cedar. Dried eucalypt. Terse and unforgivingly dried fruit on the palate. Taught tannin, dark shadows. Short, yet balanced.
