Judging Results

Overall Score	89
Judge 1	pale garnet, good texture and sulphides, creamy, toasty, integrated tannins - lip smacking
Judge 2	Jube fruit lollies, very confected. Palate is a one dimensional fruit bomb. Nothing offensive but...
Judge 3	Gorgeous sweet aroma, sitting at compote rrather than jam, slightly more savoury strawberry, with herbaceous lift. Lovely ripe fruit Acid a tiny bit hard and over sweet.
Associate Judge	black jelly bean and jube on the nose. Fruit is a little dried out on the palate. Alcohol is slightly out of balance and hot
