Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	87
Judge 1	dark colour, ash like tannins, soft and round, charry and layered
Judge 2	black and red fruited, touch jammy on nose. bundled wood spice. saltiness intrigues. baked terracotta earthiness on palate, structured tannins, acid tucked in and soft fruited. Drying finish distracts.
Judge 3	Deep maroon. Nose is a little demure, But maybe due to proximity to very fresh styles. This possibly had 18mo in old oak for example. Has a bit of an old oak vibe to it over macerated berries, some attractive violetty florals too. Palate is quite lovely - I think this is a quite intentional style: slow maturation and a bit of bottle age. The fruit tannins are quite lovely and frontal, cooling and correct. I like this wine. It manages to parse varietal flow while being demure and not a 'loud wine
Associate Judge	Capsicum, canned corn. Grippy palate but reasonably gentle, numerous, layered tannins which are very fine. Nicely balanced structure.
