Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	80
Judge 1	Darker colour, worcestershire sauce, silage, rotting leaves, brett? Overworked.
Judge 2	slightly muted nose. bit bloody and varnish. macerated wild fruits on palate. wood spice. medicinal. palate a bit stripped and drying on finish.
Judge 3	Inky maroon. Nose is quite woody, warm dry firewood, mincey red fruits, touch of euc but not an issue. Palate has a big ridge of smokey woodiness, gives an almost peated berry impression. A very Australian wine. Wood is probably a bit dominating for me but certain red drinkers will love these flavours.
Associate Judge	Hard to see beyond the barnyard character which is unfortunately dominating both palate and nose.
