Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	90
Judge 1	Elegant flow with restrained complexity. Spice and wood smoke comes through on the finish. A bit meaty. Long, measured mid-weight style. Fine structure with good balance.
Judge 2	Very dark maroon. Aromatics licquorous, hints of anise and touch of euc (not a problem though), touch brackish salty. Otherwise very dark berry. Palate fuller end of mid weight but correct acidity and brittle tannin. Good wine, sound as a pound.
Judge 3	Clovey vanillin oak, cherry compote, coffee/ mocha, creamy, savoury structure. Creamy oak texture, grip. Typicity?
