Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	84
Judge 1	murky soupy sweet and a little OTT..
Judge 2	Juicy fruit. Over ripe. Port like character on palate.
Judge 3	More balanced blue flowers and fruit. Ripe but fresh notions. Slightly blocky on the palate but with fruit weight lasting with some spice.
Associate Judge	Black liquorice. Dense purple. Spicy pepper. Salty black liquorice. Very dense. Powerhouse. For a rich wine, alcohol totally in balance. Terse, taught, fierce tannin. Raw. Hairs on your chest.
