Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Overall Score	97
Judge 1	Lifted perfume with hints of floral and citrus to the fresh berry flavours. Youthfully edgy. A lighter-weight style with nicely defined chalky tannins and a crunchy palate. Very primary currently.
Judge 2	Deep plum maroon. Soapy floral aromas, unexpected. Not unpleasant though. Perhaps from a cooler site. This wine has nice chew and structure, blue fruits, fresh. Not just big and plummy. This is good.
Judge 3	Deep coloured, dried fruits nose, cedary oak, palate unusually sweet - cloying - lacks acid drive. Firm tannins.
Associate Judge	dark plum, floral lift, savoury pan juice. marmite reduction on palate, tannin bit granular, have bitter coffee bean finish
