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	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.
Judge 3	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.
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
