Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	53
Judge 1	Massive colour and texture on this wine. Looking fresh for a 2010 and bright. Nice palate and fruit but very different and textural.
Judge 2	Saturated colour....almost oxy edge to the nose. Insane fruit density on the palate, chewy, saturated blackfruits, chalky gyspum-like tannins.... impressive for its big-arsed-ness
Judge 3	aldehyde notes, layered fruit and tannins, oak showing, pretty fruit
