Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	85
Judge 1	Lovely colour, aroma a bit wanting, likewise a bit hard and unyielding. Feels a little hard and truncated.
Judge 2	Deep ruby, purple hue. vibrant complexion. Herbal, bay leaf, smoke, sits lower, darker in its black fruit depth. Drying oak tannins squeeze the life of it a bit. It gets harder and harder edged the more I taste it...
Judge 3	Sweet fruit, red pepper corn and capsicum - a little sweet oak. nice length and acid balance. Oak is long but drying. o
Associate Judge	High alc nose, warm. Smokey, woody muscle. Powdery plush tannins. Missing fruit for this category.
