Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	90
Judge 1	opaque and lacklustre crimson. Sweet sour cherry with a medicinal hint and hint of tomato leaf. Sof perfumed raspberry with a load of tannins. needs a little more concentration and a little more ripeness
Judge 2	some perfume and eastern spice.. violets, forest. light fruit intensity, slightly short, acid/tannin continues after fruit gone. Nose promising.
Judge 3	Bright cherry, good life of fruit through the palate, vibrant, tarry, cherry, well structured but layered with fruit, medium bodied but with so much happening on the flavour spectrum
Associate Judge	leafy red fruit nose, juicy but restrained palate, fresh, balanced, nice fruit/savoury balance, maybe a touch lean?
