Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	90
Judge 1	Bright nose, peppery crunch suggestions but nicely giving on entry. Good tannin build, perfume and freshness.
Judge 2	Deep ruby. bright colour. Dark fruited, smoke, toasted barrel, olive brine, liquorice. Full bodied, ripe fruit on the palate. Well structured, oak tannin more so I feel, olive, blackberry, pepper spice. Well made wine
Judge 3	Herbaceous and fruity - Euco. Plumy and sweet. Sweet ok. nice finish but a cit cumbersome.
Associate Judge	Abundance of red fruit on the nose. Charry core that runs through the wine, oak framing ripe fruit well. Tannins are fine and slatey. Hint of graphite.
