Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	83
Judge 1	Soft, floral and plummy red fruit, a little disjointed with a forward, sweet and slightly tired flower element. Lacks tension.
Judge 2	MEd ruby. Dark prune, damson fruit. fruit cake spice of clove, star anise. orange peel. Whoa! ripe and cooked on the palate. Alcohol is warm! Dried out fruit, lack of acid. hard finish. short
Judge 3	incredibly sappy, amazing level of extract. Not in balance.
Associate Judge	Red apple skin, salted plum, wood smoke. Generous extraction, full fruited, grainy oak tannin - overt vanillin flavour on finish.
