Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	92
Judge 1	Dark fruited, ripe, sl sour acid, charry, firm tannin, well structured finish, varietal
Judge 2	lovely red and black fruited, touch of red earth and a little dark choc shavings and dried euc. hibiscus flower and salted plum. Great concentration on the palate, slight savory notes, black olive, salted violet and fine multitudinal tannins. A complete and complex wine with fantastic depth and breadth.
Judge 3	Dark cherry maroon. Cherrful cherryish aromatics, Probably carbonic or carbo-destem in style. Palate is correct and varietal and quite delicious in a modern and primary way. This is very good. I'm a 93 but popping to 95 for the chat.
Associate Judge	Vegetal nose with hints of Indian cooking spice a bit of oak influence on nose. Gum coating tannin but slightly aggressive.
