Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	80
Judge 1	Deep crimson. A nose dominated by horse saddle and meaty notes, which has also suppressed much of the fruit. Rather astringent tannic finish. Back to the drawing board
Judge 2	good colour; reductive, dark red sweet fruit spice and aromatics, grippy tannins - great palate but too reductive-stinky on the nose H2s
Judge 3	H2S. Red/blue-fruited palate, simple, maybe drying out, but nose lets it down.
Associate Judge	struck match, soya sauce, vanilla, spice nose medium weight, good intensity, savoury, graphite notes, great grippy ripe tannin, nice acid balance. shame about closed nose, opening up
