Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	87
Judge 1	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.
Judge 2	Cherry maroon hue. Nose is blackcurrants and some light aldehyde dried apple. That aldehyde dries out the palate sadly..
Judge 3	Baked jammy fruit, bittterness, drying tannins.
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.
