Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	85
Judge 1	med colour, odd dusty character, medium body then finishes with very dry, astringent tannins
Judge 2	earthy, red fruit, meatiness and concentration. oak sizeable but integrated. musky on palate, slight dankness and green bitter finish.
Judge 3	fresh blueberry, lifted violets, med plus intensity with fresh blackberries. plush just ripe fruit palate, intermingled ripe tannins of medium intensity. perhaps a touch simple, but overall resolved and enjoyable
Associate Judge	spices, anise, liquorice, rich of dark fruits, nice tannin, but seem like high iron on nose
