Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	89
Judge 1	Perfumed, exuberant expression. Floral, ripe berry, broad and generous palate with balsamic notes, balanced by more herbal/waxy rosemary notes on the spicy, warm finish.
Judge 2	Inky dark maroon. Nose is softly woody, not oaky, but earthy and woody like old shed (in a nice way). Palate is plump, plummy and roundly fruited.
Judge 3	Very ripe, jammy cooked fruit. Mid-palate textural appeal but finishes short.
Associate Judge	lavender lift, stalky herbal charc, green caperberry. Dusty cedar oak. even flow touch butterscotch sweetness, balanced by sav herbs.
