Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88
Judge 1	some perfume lift, lavender, fine tannin, med bodied, lovely length
Judge 2	black fruited, bramble spice, florals and plenty of crushed graphite. inviting. touch meaty too. dried herbs on palate, chalky and bold tannins, nice acid crunch and drive and great fruit concentration. lots to love.
Judge 3	Middling plummy maroon. Some development, a touch of VA but not in a bad way, soft purple florals. Palate is plummy and soft. Touch pinched by volatility on the back end.
Associate Judge	Vegetal a little bilgey. A calm wine with a gentle persistence through the palate, unfortunately it finishes a little narrow. Non offensive.
