Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	83
Judge 1	Very smoky / stale. Hard and sweet / sour.
Judge 2	Light colour, red fruits, a little Gamay-like, touch herbal, grainy texture. Hard to read but has character; a little herbally dominated on the finish.
Judge 3	Med- colour. Really jammy nose - strawberry, plum jam vibe. Vanilla, clove and cinnamon. Glazed pastry, cooked boysenberry. Very sweet, jammy palate too. Warm alcohol. Not much joy here.
Associate Judge	Morello, baking spice, fresh cut herbs. Red fruit framed, intensity of ripeness, sweet vanilla oak. Heavy handed on the oak - warm
