Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	85
Judge 1	fragrant, savoury, good acid, zesty, taut, chewy, crisp, firm finish
Judge 2	Mealy up front.Torn cherry, blackberry jubes. Dominating oak tannin is a lot.. Drys the fruit out completely.
Judge 3	Beef stock, 'oriental' two minuet noodels. Lacking floral. Palate is overtly green and lacking fruit.
Associate Judge	Very sweet fruit on the nose, raspberry, raisin, a slightly overt bunchy character. Sweet fruited on the palate. Very succulent. It is riding on a bit of a single dimension a bit, even though delicous.
