Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	87
Judge 1	Baked jammy fruit, bittterness, drying tannins.
Judge 2	Cherry maroon hue. Nose is blackcurrants and some light aldehyde dried apple. That aldehyde dries out the palate sadly..
Judge 3	Balsamic aromas and showing complexity from development. The structure is nicely integrated, still holding onto a plenty of submerged tannin and a long, sour cherry note.
Associate Judge	red plum, rosemary bush, charred oak.. Euco character to palate, touch sour fruited. Has large volume of tannin, bit of heat out the back.
