Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	87
Judge 1	Dark fruit and cocoa is framed by high tannins and a firm structure. Mid-weight but grippy and dried plummy fruit with salinity settles on the finish,
Judge 2	Cherry maroon hue. Nose has an odd phenolic herbal top note I can't place. Don't really see much red fruits. Palate is red fruited and mid weight and quite appropriate, but the odd aromatic profile is jarring.
Judge 3	Cherry/ sarsaparilla fruit, cedar oak, some dried tertiary, palate dry and savoury.
Associate Judge	rose hip, black cherry, vanilla, coconut shreds boot polish. sour cherry line, bright energised cocoa powder tannin, touch green lollie edge, good pull and push. oak dom
