Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	84
Judge 1	High toned primary red fruit, spice and crunch, dusty high tannins, acid push, perfume to finish. Frisky but not ripe enough?
Judge 2	med- ruby colour. Ripe black fruit, barnyard vibe. potting soil. Fruit is a bit dried, orange peel, fruit cake quality - Confected. Sour palate though, a little bit herbal. Corvina? Wine of 2 parts for me...
Judge 3	Ripe strawberry and plum nose. nice small fruits - peachy, quince, under-ripe stawberry, tannnin is gripping but not drying - nice. Medium length. a nice wine. A touch green?
Associate Judge	Sweet cherry, berry compote, thyme, violet. Solid fruit weight, abundance of ripe-powdery tannins. Lighter style.
