Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	90
Judge 1	Juicy black fruits, - black cherry, blackcurrant - ripe and sweet, coffee mocha, full-bodied but balanced by fine acidity & savoury tannin grip. Moreish and appealing.
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	Sour plum and berry with subtle complexity from spice and salinity. Good concentration and flow across the palate. Ripe, rounded tannins.
Associate Judge	sav, pepper lift, black plum. vanilla, blackberry cream, drying structured tannin touch short fruited but enjoyable. bit stalky
