Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	90
Judge 1	Sour plum and berry with subtle complexity from spice and salinity. Good concentration and flow across the palate. Ripe, rounded tannins.
Judge 2	Inky dark maroon. Glass staining purpleness. Bit of aldehyde perhaps? It has the drying finish of aldehyde. Lots of fruit fighting against it though for sure.
Judge 3	Juicy black fruits, - black cherry, blackcurrant - ripe and sweet, coffee mocha, full-bodied but balanced by fine acidity & savoury tannin grip. Moreish and appealing.
Associate Judge	sav, pepper lift, black plum. vanilla, blackberry cream, drying structured tannin touch short fruited but enjoyable. bit stalky
