Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	86
Judge 1	Very Bordeaux (Cabernet like) but not off-putting, though there is oak and the fruit feels a little timid in its shadow. A bit of mint. But this has shape, persistence and integrity. The woodiness just holds it back.
Judge 2	Red cherry black fruit pepper. Slurpy simple fruit.
Judge 3	sweeter plummy fruits. propped up on RS.
Associate Judge	Fruit cake, tobacco pouch, cedary-oak. Lacking mid palate fruit, the wine is framed by oak which sits over the wine. lacking vitality.
