Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	90
Judge 1	Bright purple rotundone nose and entry but with a slurpy flow. Nice, fresh, characterful attributes but perhaps lacking the structual integrity to really hold the interest. Nice drinking.
Judge 2	Bright purple hue. Real clarity to the fruit. Blueberry, boysenberry that is just ripe. Clean, pure on the palate, frame nicely by oak. Fine, long acids. herbal mint lift. Great drinkability.
Judge 3	Plum tobacco and baked spice. Yummy fruit with great sweet savoury balance. Oak possibly masking a bit - sweet wood and tannin.
Associate Judge	Anaerobic handling, cherry skin, shaved prosciutto. Warming palate, touch over-ripe. Wanting restraint.
