Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Big. large EVEN. Everything in balance...although I question the idea of it.
Judge 2	Dominant cedary oak. Plush dark fruit. Very good intensity of fruit but a bit too much oak.
Judge 3	Nicely ripe fruit and good oak; burst of mid palate red and blue fruits; well worked palate
Associate Judge	Really grubby nose. Sweet mid-palate tricked up with residual sugar?
