Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88
Judge 1	Dark fruit, red apple skin, charcoal, firm tannin, chalky tannin
Judge 2	florals and muted red fruit. little balsamic. vanlla warm red fruit on palate. nice graphite weave and good fruit intensity. lovely fine spice and blue tones. natural tannins sing and acid lifts.
Judge 3	Deep dark cherry. Not especially aromatic, so dark red fruits but an earthiness overlying. Quite ripe and liquorous though, possibly a touch hot and drying. Boozy.
Associate Judge	A bit sweaty, quite shy nose. Palate has a beautiful structure but it is lacking in fruit intensity. I like the subtlety of it.
