Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	86
Judge 1	fragrant, leafy, fine but firm tannins, fresh apple like acidity
Judge 2	pretty blackcurrent and choc mint. freshness, dried herbs and almost amaro note. oak is balanced, if a little charry. nice acid drive and freshness. not the longest lenghht.
Judge 3	Dark cherry maroon. Black earthen cabernet character. A bit plastery. Palate mid weight and a little tobacco-ey, not super fresh for a year-old wine. Probably a bit advanced.
Associate Judge	Licorice and jube on the nose. A firmness to palate that suggest maybe a bit of greenness. A square finish.
