Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Overall Score	95
Judge 1	more sinewy tannin, some crunch, really layered and complex, length, interesting tannin
Judge 2	black fruited, lifted, slight varnish note, dried violets, rather savoury. Fabulous chalky tannins, acid drives thorugh and good fruit weight. quartzy crunch for days.
Judge 3	Deep plummy maroon. Darkly berried, quite a ripe style. Palate is savoury and somewhat drying, very italianate. Honestly pretty well done.
Associate Judge	Shy nose. A bit dusty with a hint of prune. A dilution in the mid palate and a sourness on the finish.
