Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
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	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
Judge 3	some perfume and eastern spice.. violets, forest. light fruit intensity, slightly short, acid/tannin continues after fruit gone. Nose promising.
Associate Judge	leafy red fruit nose, juicy but restrained palate, fresh, balanced, nice fruit/savoury balance, maybe a touch lean?
