Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	82
Judge 1	Oaky with nutty oxidative notes on the palate. Looking quite developed with drying tannins.
Judge 2	Medium plum maroon. This wine has a warm woody opening note. Ooh it's really very drying. Dried out.
Judge 3	Stemmy, stalky green notes - cedary - palate a bit wimpish, watery even, very odd. Needs more concentration & intensity.
Associate Judge	polish oak. nice structure and lenght. tannin is fine, grainy and layered. fruit is purple, deep, but struggles to come to the fore. has dark baking spice, question density on fin?
