Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88
Judge 1	Berry compote. Generous and concentrated fruit in a plush style with baking spice and forward accessibility. Sweet-fruited finish with soft tannins and warmth.
Judge 2	Dark plum. Almost medicinal floral aromas, dark herbs and liquoricey dark berry fruits. Certainly an interesting nose. Palate is richly plummy and quite supple. This is actually a really interesting wine. Charm and interest..
Judge 3	Herbal mulchy aromas over ripe fruit, dried berries & vanilla bean savouriness on palate, sweetness and then tannin. Lacks acid drive & intensity.
Associate Judge	onion soup mix, euco, dried berries. leather oils.
