Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	84
Judge 1	Juicy fruit. Over ripe. Port like character on palate.
Judge 2	More balanced blue flowers and fruit. Ripe but fresh notions. Slightly blocky on the palate but with fruit weight lasting with some spice.
Judge 3	murky soupy sweet and a little OTT..
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.
