Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	89
Judge 1	Garnet rim. Showing development and softer, oak-influenced characters with gently sun-ripened fruit, sweet spice and berry/olive flavours. Long and concentrated finish.
Judge 2	Dark maroon. Nose is fairly woody, dark fruits beside. Smells like a riserva style, some soy bonox aged notes. Palate is good, correct if a little soft/ short. Is somone having a tilt at a brunello style? Is this like 8 years old? Hard to point without knowing the wines age. If it's like a 2019 then it's excellent, is 2023 then very much lacking freshness.
Judge 3	Vanilla oak, tertiary aromas of baked cherry & Xmas fruitcake spice. Palate full bodied with cooked tomato acidity, furry tannins but finishes quite short.
Associate Judge	cola, dried florals lavender lift. sweet vanilla, cloves, warm spice. ceramic tannin very coating and layered. but fruit has fallen away
