Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88
Judge 1	Earthy, herbal, peppery primary fruit; nice profile fruit seems a little stripped, elevating tannin impression and foreshortening the wine.
Judge 2	Mauvey, ruby/purple colour, a little dull. Smokey, charry. Black fruited, olive brine. Plenty of savouriness here. just ripe fruit, lots of tannin structure from oak. Solid dry, red.
Judge 3	Vibrant purple fruit with some herbal lift. Nice weight, slightly lift / diluted fruits but dense grapey tannin. pretty good.
Associate Judge	Vermouth, warm. Clay pot tannins- high, pressed herbs, savoury, wet earth. Lightly fruited. Drying
