Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	89
Judge 1	Youthful, a bit of reduction and crunchy fruit with a saline edge. Quite angular, grippy tannins. A bit hard-edged overall.
Judge 2	Inky deep maroon. Pleasing, rich dark fruited nose, very clean and plummy. Nicely deeply fruited, a bit of earthy complexity. Sweet fruit like actual sweetness a couple of grams? Perhaps.
Judge 3	Dark cherry/ berry fruit, stalk/stem green note, palate rich and creamy with appealing savoury liquorice note. Firm tannins & steely acidity. Chunky.
Associate Judge	red plum crunch. touch herbal lift and green peppercorn spice. bit of purple florals and glace sugar crunch to tannin. bright. touch minty and ddrying
