Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	87
Judge 1	Dark ruby. brooding nose with just a hint of pepper and tobacco leaf and touch of dusty oak and a dried fruit note but builds a unity. Quite firmly tannic and just a little bit biting and sweet on the finish.
Judge 2	deep dark red-noir; core of rich ripe black fruits, powerful yet supple tannins, spicy, earthy real depth here and neat acidity. great example of the style
Judge 3	coffee/char, blackfruit, hint of funkiness. Good length/weight and acid/tannin/fruit all together. Savoury.
Associate Judge	spirity, dark plum, savoury, smoky nose, complex palate, brisk acid, nice mid weight, bit developed, not too gruesome tannin, balanced
