Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88
Judge 1	bright fruited, rose hip, fruit compote, creamy, yogurty, fine grain tannin, crowd pleasing
Judge 2	super herbal and jubey. bit red fruited sappy. amaro. Palate has succulence and drinkability, if rather simple. lacks fruit weight, concentration and length. Lots of fun though.
Judge 3	Clearish deep ruby cherry. Nose of rhubarb cherry raspberry, bit of leafiness in there too. Quite primary, but attractive. PAlate is mid weight, sapid, a touch of salinity perhpas, otherwise stout ripe red fruits. Has some grip but is essentially in an easy drinking style. A very bistro-friendly red.
Associate Judge	Interesting nose with some whole bunch like characters. Jube, violet, cassis. A very gum coating tannin but a slight donut shape, the mid palate is hollow. A lot up front without the carry through
